Man Cancellara has kind off terrible luck too lately.....

I just hope it doesn't hinder him from doing well in Roubaix.

A Roubaix without Boonen and with Cancellara being crap because of a crash would be horrible......

It would make for a much more interesting race rather than the procession we are probably going to get.

I'd rather have the best rider win, than have all the best riders have bad luck so we get to see a good race between second-tier riders, especially when it's the most important cobbled race of the season.

Voted Fabian, but his crash yesterday does make it somewhat more uncertain maybe

Lol, you call a little crash like that terrible luck? Come'on now. He's not Gesink that starts sucking the moment he hits the ground.

He crashed at Scheldeprijs too.

Finally being back in shape again for the races you think are most important and then crashing twice a few days before the race, I call that terrible luck, considering he couldn't participate last year because of a another crash.

GT, 4 votes?

Now I know he's a Sky rider and they never cease to surprise us, but what exactly has he done in Roubaix(or any other classic besides the Ronde 2011 for that matter) to deserve the second most votes? :eek:

He'll most likely win, but remember 2011? :D

Ronde is more suited to Cancellara, definitely on the new course. If both were in top form right now I'd say Cancellara is the best in the Ronde, but Boonen is the best in Roubaix.

Perhaps, but he certainly is in good form and I'm sure he will go in the breakaway.

?
he suffered immensely in e3, (on the flat) finishing 12 mins down on Canc
then a dnf in GW and RVV

he certainly has the frame to contend in the future, but does not seem to be in a good shape at the moment. or he's sandbagging :D the jens attacks option :D
 
***** Cancellara
**** Chavanel, Boom
*** Hushovd, Degenkolb, Flecha
** Phinney, Turgot, Pozzato, Ladagnous
* Greipel, Stannard, Eisel, Roelandts, Vansummeren

I remember seeing him in the break and then pushing solo in one of the races, I think G-W.
He's not suited to Ronde, so no surprises of him abandoning.

I love how a bit of hype from jens attacks suddenly has Gaudin as a favourite for Roubaix. Kinda like how 30% of the CQ game contenders picked Ospina after some brutal hype from Ryo.

Oh, and fair play to Fabian for trying to make it exciting by throwing himself on the ground all week. Good show old man.
