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

Preparing myself for another bmc failure...

 

[Roude Leiw]

I think it's quite gripping actually. Will be very interesting to hear what he has to say after the race.

He waits for Carrefour de l'Arbre

 

[Parrulo]

What the hell is Boonen doing?

This move hasn't felt like the winning one since the first 1meter. . .

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Thomas works too much.

Be interesting if Sagan joins up. Someone that can outsprint Boonen.

Yannick Martinez is pretty useful in a sprint, I just don't think he can stay with them on the last real tough sectors.

 

[The Barb]

I fear this is coming back together and Cancellara's tactics will work out just fine ...

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Saying that Sagan might have worked too much even if he makes it.

 

[yespatterns]

ES showing more commercials than race action today

At least this is the last one.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

He waits for Carrefour de l'Arbre

Exactly what I'm saying: since when is he so boring...

 

[royalpig180]

Who is Orica working for?!?

 

[AICA ribonucleotide]

Canc is playing a dangerous game. And BMC seems to be just waiting on him

BMC have Hushovd up the road

 

[Fzotrlool]

It would be annoying if an anonymous sprinter won this race.

 

[Guybrush]

At least this is the last one.

and ft. Pierluigi Colina!

 

[Bumeington]

It would be annoying if an anonymous sprinter won this race.

No way the big group comes back together after Carrefour de l'abre

 

[screaming fist]

Maybe Cancellara is still feeling the crash?

 

[jaylew]

2011 or previous years Thor maybe.

But remember, we're not talking about a previous year's "sprinter" Boonen either. Could go either way

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

So Vanmarke and Canellara to go.
Boonen to join but gets dropped.
Vanmarke to win in the velodrome.
Maybe.

 

[Parrulo]

Yup, move is pretty much over and Boonen handed Cancellara the race. . .

OPQS tactics this year have been terrible

 

[Roude Leiw]

Yannick Martinez is pretty useful in a sprint, I just don't think he can stay with them on the last real tough sectors.

the lad makes a great race.

 

[Orbit501]

I fear this is coming back together and Cancellara's tactics will work out just fine ...

I think that will happen too.

I don't fear it though, I just admire the experience and knowledge to pull off such a cool headed masterstroke.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

It would be annoying if an anonymous sprinter won this race.

(I know, he wasn't really a sprinter, but it was a sprint from a small group that gave him this achievement).

 

[Moviefan1203]

Cancellara has been conservative today, but Trek's tactics have been very smart. Looks like we'll all be together soon for Canc to make his annual winning move.

 

[Bushman]

If Cancellara kan keep the gap at around 15-20 seconds until they hit Carrefour de l'arbre he is still very much in with a shot.

 

[The Hitch]

Did the peloton suddenly start coming back?

 

[spalco]

Maybe Cancellara is still feeling the crash?

He didn't actually go down today I think.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

But remember, we're not talking about a previous year's "sprinter" Boonen either. Could go either way

He beat Greipel earlier this year. Seens he's sprinting better than the last two years...
