From how many kms to go to the finish will Spartacus attack in Paris-Roubaix?

[BlenJones2]

oh thanks, I agree very much

let's see if Fabian can get it, or some attacker from afar or by surprise(Chava, Boom, Flecha, Pozzato, PHINNEY)

Yeah, great chance for Taylor to do something

Wild horses couldn't drag Cancellara back. The Sky approach works perfectly for GTs (although they've won just 1 GT so far...) but for classics mathematics aren't everything.

Mathematics are everything: Watts produced by Cancellara > watts produced by the rest.

 

[the asian]

In order to out do Boonen's effort he will attack in the Arenberg.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cancellara will go with 50km to go but get a vicious counter by Turgot who solos to the win

Yeah, that worked like clockwork in 2011

 

[Roude Leiw]

Cancellara will go with 50km to go but get a vicious counter by Turgot who solos to the win

That would be truly epic

 

[El Pistolero]

Yeah, that worked like clockwork in 2011

He just wasn't as strong as in 2010 then, at least not in Roubaix(where he couldn't get rid of Hushovd on the cobblestone sectors).

In the Ronde 2011 he attacked too soon, but would've probably pulled it off in his 2010 form.

Unfortunately, the weather looks sure to be dry and cool on Sunday.

 

[Flamin]

He just wasn't as strong as in 2010 then, at least not in Roubaix(where he couldn't get rid of Hushovd and his teammate on the motorbike on the cobblestone sectors).

In the Ronde 2011 he attacked too soon, but would've probably pulled it off in his 2010 form.

Fixed that for you.

 

[mewmewmew13]

I am going to go on record saying 32k

 

[Tigerion]

I think if first big attack will come at Camphin-en-Pévèle split the remains of the peloton and then drop anybody who could follow on the flat when they hit the climb

 

[RHRH19861986]

The French teams could go for the podium here, Ladagnous was great in RVV and Europcar with Gaudin and Turgot and some others of their many 6-letter names are ready to do so.

Let´s see what Pozzato can do, so that Laigueglia isn´t the rescue of his spring...

 

[The GCW]

Fab Can and will

The Fab will want everyone behind him for safety. By the time there's 50k left, it's time trial mode.

Isn't anyone going to start a proper thread / winner speculation poll for Paris-Roubaix, or is the winner a foregone conclusion?

 

[Netserk]

Isn't anyone going to start a proper thread / winner speculation poll for Paris-Roubaix, or is the winner a foregone conclusion?

With all the big focus on Schelderprijs it wouldn't make any sense to start the thread before that was over. Now we just need some time to digest the awesome spectacle of Schelderprijs. Perhaps tomorrow there'll be a P-R thread. Otherwise you're free to start one

 

[luckyboy]

Think we need a few days to recover from Scheldeprijs to be honest
