Cancellara is back! How about Spartacus?

[Arredondo]

To be fair, the Contador thread is also the thread to discuss anything and everything Saxo. And it is run by someone that stalks Contador.

No, a stalker? Seriously?

Now, after the season of cobblestones, it looks to me that Cancellara has definitely passed his peak. Despite lacking the brute force of previous seasons, he'll be again there next year to battle for the title of the best cobblestone rider of the generation. Newly developed abilities and experience are warranty.
Also, it's the right moment to take a shot at the hour record. Just like he's planning to.

Are you sure he's going to ride it?
Even if he does, an animation is a tall order.

dude -Cance is a Cobble classic rider- his racing schedule is DONE- next time we'll see him is probably for the Tour of Suisse

Tour of Luxembourg would be my guess, contains a prologue

i know he is cobble classic rider.He just talks LBL for some time now,so I think he should try it once.

 

[Cancellator]

In one of the recent interviews he said something along the lines of sacrificing enough already and becoming competitive in LBL would mean too much time away from his family etc.

In other words, I doubt he's ever going to do it.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Maybe if he put the motor back in his seat tube, he could continue to ride away from everyone.

Yeah,I understand him.
Its just my wish because imo he is the only rider who can in reality win 4/5 monuments nowadays.From long range attack in LBL of course,he cant win it in battle with real punchers thats clear.

 

[VanBsr]

Probably next year his major goal will be the World Championship.It will be great for him to wear the rainbow jersey before retires,he deserves it.

I'd like to see it on no other back more than Fabian's.

 

[sir fly]

The perennial rainbow hype has begun.

 

[trevim]

Every year he hypes himself for the race only to complain afterwards that he was a marked man. Maybe he should shut up about the Worlds or just say that he's not even sure to be selected for the race

Yeah... Last year he really was marked out of the race.
Just like he'll be this year.

 

[trevim]

No, last year he was dropped like a stone. Not to be ashamed though, in that diabolical circuit and racing against real climbers.

 

[Netserk]

He hasn't been marked since Mendrisio...

It seems I should have put a sarcastic emoticon just to be clear enough.

Skips the worlds TT this year; 100% focus on the RR, which is a good decision.

Go Fabian _O_

That opens up the third podium spot for the TT

 

[Dr. Juice]

If Malori finds his form he had in the spring, he will be on the podium for sure.

Too long for him. Uran (if he rides) or Quaade will get the last spot on the podium imo.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

yeah

1 Martin 2 Dumoulin 3 Could be anyone!
