Re:

The battle for race of the year is over. Nothing is touching that. Wasn't Hayman in the early break? What a performance.

Yh, but he said he only really went once and then basically saved his legs as best he could.

And everyone else was dead too, because the race was so hard from the beginning.

congrats to hayman. A bit disappointed not being able to see what Sagan and Cancellara can do if they were in the mix. But ow well. they made a mistake and getting held by the crash. TS boys were no where to find. At least cancellara has couple of teammates. I guess TS boys were caught napping.

Tom Boonen - the best cobble rider of all time hands down!!!

 

[The Barb]

Great great race. Best Roubaix for years. I'm sad the cobbled season is so brief. Brilliant last couple of weeks.

 

[gunara]

The greatest race I've ever seen live doesn't even need any rider I really like as the protagonists

 

[Scarponi]

Boonen should come back for one more go next year

 

[portugal11]

Boonen is the moral winner.

 

[Pricey_sky]

That was absolutely epic, what a race. Hayman really deserves that, I can't wait for the backstage pass now!

All 5 in front deserve so much credit, gave it everything.

 

[Climbing]

Man, if all racing was like that...

 

[kingjr]

I'm having fking stomach cramps from all the excitement. This was almost too much.

 

[Red Rick]

Best classic I've ever seen. But man I wanted Boonen to win so badly

 

[TMP402]

Boonen should come back for one more go next year

Well he's not retiring so he probably will...

 

[Jelantik]

maybe sky is kicking themself. Their ex member win the monument. What a ride by hayman.

 

[wayahead]

This race was something.

Re:

Yes, I mean he is 35 years old, just can't be expected to actually win PR at that advanced age

 

[Andy262]

Farewell to Cancellara..

 

[trevim]

So sad for Boonen, it would be so special to get that 5th stone. Once again losing a major race in a small group sprint though.

I'd be dead. What an amazing race. I was hoping for one more on Tommeke's mantle, but oh wow--what a race.

 

[Scarponi]

Did Eurosport just cut to the break during cancelleras lap my god

 

[PremierAndrew]

Watching Canc finish was so sad

 

[bigcog]

Re: Re:

What a race! Incredible winner - any one of those final five would have fully deserved it.

All five did enough for me to be happy for them to win. Super, super race

Absolutely, great great race, well done Hayman.

Boonen should come back for one more go next year

Well he's not retiring so he probably will...

Let's hope not; I wouldn't even be too surprised if Canc decided to give it another shot.

 

[staubsauger]

Incredible. The last last 10 kilometers every single attack looked to be the decisive one. Pure thriller finale. Amazing. Simply amazing. Wow! Wow! Wow!

Erviti 9th.



I may take a lie down now.
