2014 Paris-Roubaix, 257 Km's, Sunday April 13th (1.UWT)

[The Hitch]

Weak Paris roubaix. I feel like a heroin addict who just realized the dope he bought was a fake.

 

[classicomano]

Yes finally a monument for the dutchies again :d

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

What the hell was cancellara thinking the last couple of races. He was lucky he won RvV, but his MS and PR were the most conservative racing ever (and honestly, so was RvV)

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Wiggins finish 9th.. Fail

he was dropped in earlier stages of the race and his team were chasing back and brought him back

 

[Bavarianrider]

Did Degenkolb think he won

 

[jaylew]

Cancellara keeps his monument podium streak going

Had he been stronger, he'd probably have tried something, don't you think?

 

[Panda Claws]

Great race until the last few km's. Awesome Wiggins. Awful winner. Awful last 5-6 km. Good race overall.

Not as strong as in previous years. He knows he cant just ride away from everybody anymore.

 

[dicanio_michael]

Apperently degenkolb won the sprint and he thought he wins the race LOL

2nd in PR is a huge thing for Degenkolb I would think

 

[ingsve]

Perhaps more than Degenkolb didn't know Terpstra was ahead. Maybe that's why they didn't chase harder.

he couldn't do any better clearly

Anyway: OPQS tactical win, really happy for Terpstra. He has always ridden like a beast, and it's about time he gets a big time monument win.

 

[podunavac]

This was a fantastic edition!

 

[TourOfTexas]

Not a single Frenchman in the top 10.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Wiggins and Boonen the heroes of the day. Cancellara obviously didnt have that little extra today but still managing podium is nice. Now 12 monument podiums in a row. Good for Terpstra, this was a team victory

I agree... Even though I don´t know how H users feel.

 

[Orbit501]

I had a French stream of Eurosport for the last 20km as it was more reliable and I was fed up with Kirby.

The poor old commentators went very quite at the end though as the camera just lost the plot at the end leaving no one any idea what was happening behind Terpstra. Made their job impossible. Shocking Eurosport coverage, really really poor.

Congrats to Terpstra on a fine win though to ride away from such a large select group at the end.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Perhaps more than Degenkolb didn't know Terpstra was ahead. Maybe that's why they didn't chase harder.

of course he knew. when terpstra went both degenkolb and de backer saw it happen as they were in front

 

[T-Nielsen]

Wiggins finish 9th.. Fail

What for asking what I missed?

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Great race until the last few km's. Awesome Wiggins. Awful winner. Awful last 5-6 km. Good race overall.

My thoughts exactly !

 

[therhodeo]

Good for Niki. Definitely a deserved winner.

 

[roundabout]

With the radios? Unless they failed all at once

Agreed, so much potential, andit just fizzled.

 

[Afrank]

Pretty anti-climatic Paris-Roubaix overall. Had some good parts, but definitely not as good as last year or Flanders last week.

Cancellara and Vanmarcke messed up I think. They may not have been able to, but they really should have done more and put in some more attacks to try to drag a more select group out.
