E3 Harelbeke 2013, 209.5km

[HoinkDoink]

Go on Cancellara

 

[ChewbaccaD]

I feel like I've seen this before....

And I am hating every second of it, but it is what it is I guess.

Oh well, looks like Roubaix Sunday will be ruined for me...

Fabs is absolutely hammering it. Flecha trying to get in to the 2nd Group.

 

[RownhamHill]

Exactly. The problem is that 5 chasers will never all go all out.

Good show by Cancellara. This is his only option to win races, finish solo.

Probably an elementary question I know, but why wouldn't five chasers work together to get him back? Is it because the other four can't see any point, as it would let Sagan win?

Yiap on the 26th of March 2011 .

Not only then

 

[Descender]

Well I'm gonna stick to Dutch now. Got to admit it sounds like farmer German.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Sky had plenty of riders there, they should have hit the climb on the front as a team rather than solo riders all around the group.

 

[shinoda13]

Why the hell did Stybar and Vandenbergh dropped to help Boonen instead of helping Chavanel. WTF!

 

[wwabbit]

We need Stannard to pull the group up to Cancellara..

 

[Potomac]

Looks like FC has his 2010 form again.

Easier said than done.

 

[Sophistic82]

and now stybar is trying to get back...

 

[Ramira]

he isn't 100% yet... still, he gave a good show. patience.

I'm not worried, he's on the type of form that could give real spectacle. Just remarking that the last time he did this it didn't lead to monuments.

I do hope that some of the others get a jump in form though, while I love Spartacus I don't want to see him just ride away without effort every race the next few weeks. His jump was very impressive but it was telling it was Sagan who had to respond.

Great. Go watch something else or ride your bike outside. Just don't bother us with whining.

Because they each hold something back when they are on the front, hoping the other guy does more work, maybe.

 

[Netserk]

Exciting and great race from 70km - 30km to go. Then static and boring.

 

[Miburo]

Why the hell did Stybar and Vandenbergh dropped to help Boonen instead of helping Chavanel. WTF!

Chavanel attacked trying to close the gap and because of that they dropped.

They were not waiting for Boonen, don't listen to the commentators...

 

[Cyivel]

Gap coming down a little

 

[kjetilraknerud]

I think they were just dropped?

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Nah, I'd rather stay here so you can continue to swing your handbag.

If it was Boonen you would be jiz zing over this thread

 

[airstream]

Honestly never seen this race and don't know profile, but looks like thats Canc. Antisensation!

 

[Astana1]

The last 50k of Roubaix are sure to be boring this year.

 

[Sophistic82]

nonsense, the two dropped the same time and then looked back constantly

Go watch 2010 and 2011...
