Cancellara Thread

[Carols]

He has some great form it is possible

"Riders who take three Strade Bianche titles will get a stretch of the famous gravel named after them."

Go home, Zdenek! Go home, Peter! Go home, Greg!

So stoked for Flanders now!!!

 

[Jspear]

He has already shown good early spring form and he's confirmed it further. Spring classic riders be afraid!

 

[Carols]

Name that stretch of gravel!!! He did it, like the Champion he is

 

[BigMac]

Don't get too hyped. I'm usually not superstitious to that point, but the more I look forward to something the more that thing ends up disappinting me.

Just hope he reaches the spring in one piece.

 

[Arredondo]

Will win Flanders with ease.

 

[hfer07]

I hope he could do the double once more

Re:

He should go for all the monuments

 

[Gigs_98]

Today he just gave us a lesson how to win a classic. This race was just pure class and I couldn't be happier with the result.
And btw, I don't want to look forward to the monuments because I just fear he will crash. But if he doesnt he will definitely be the big favorite.

Exactly my fear: he will probably break his collarbone again and then a sprinter will win. &#128528

What's next?
Stages at the end of Tirreno - Adriatico?

Hopefully he doesn't get marked out in the monuments and also no injuries please

To some extent he will have a companion in Sagan, and with the shape Stuyven showed in both Kuurne and Omloop, I'm certain he will have more support than 2011, 13 and 14.

 

[Kwibus]

Great win today. Was good to see him ride like this again.

My biggest concern is him staying on his bike the next weeks. Same goes for the other favourites btw. Losing Degenkolb is more then enough.

Stybar and Brambilla praising Spartacus. Stybar actually said he wanted Brambilla to win more than him.

Cancellara will definitely be marked, but he has proven that he doesn't have to go solo. As long as it's a hard race so the sprinters are fatigued, he should be okay.

Yep, it's very hard to see him beating Kristoff in a sprint even after a hard race, so he'll probably have to drop him; but the others fast finishers shouldn't worry him at all.

He can't beat Boonen either...

Boonen won't be there in the final.

I think he could at this present moment, if Boonen somehow made it to the finish at the front.

Of course, Cancellara isn't some kind of amazing sprinter and wouldn't win everytime. But, at the end of a monument or tough classic, I think he has at least equal chance against the likes of Sagan, GVA, Stybar. As Jspear said, he doesn't have to go solo.

 

[Flamin]

I just hope he can keep it until Roubaix.

It's not 2009 anymore
