Rate Paris-Roubaix 2016

[PremierAndrew]

Has to be a 10 for me. Absolutely epic

 

[contador_attacks]

10. Tremendous!!!

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

There's always something that could have been better - but this has got to be a 10. Just for providing excitement for the whole last three hours. Something quite rare for a cycling race.

 

[red_flanders]

Absolutely tremendous, exciting race. A hard 9. Tommeke wins the sprint and walks away and it's a hard 10.

Even the crashes came in the right form. It's not like Cancellara was in a prime position and crashed out, or his win was snatched away from him. It's not like Sky lost all their guys in the main group to snatch away their very well set up race. Crashes affected the race, as is the expectation, but they didn't ruin the race for anyone.

Well they kind of did for Rowe, who has been even stronger than Yogi. But as you said that's part of bike racing, you need luck.

Epic race, great winner. 10/10. We can't expect much more in this day and age.

Since first watching in 2010 this is the best edition yet. A 10 from me.

 

[Simurgh]

The best Paris - Roubaix I've seen yet!

Rowe got back on though. You're right, he was very strong and affected certainly, but it wasn't one of those crashes that takes a rider from hero to zero.

9 for me, 11 if Tom had won.

 

[Eclipse]

I'm all for saying that there could always be something better about a race, but screw that, I'm going 10

 

[spalco]

Only 9 3/4 because Boonen winning would have made it even more legendary. Other than, that was as good as it gets.

 

[Arredondo]

9.5. Best Roubaix i ever saw!

Not a 10 because Sagan and Cancellara were never in contention because of that crash.

 

[hrotha]

10. Anything below 9 would be silly I think.

I gave it a 10 because Sagan wasn't in the front group! in all seriousness it was a shame for Cancellara to end like that.

 

[BigMac]

That finale was an easy 11. Seldom have I seen such a attacked final 10km.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

I gave RVV an 8 IIRC, so than this has to be a 56 or something.

Nah but I think this and last year's GW are the only races I've seen live that are a 10 for me.

 

[Carols]

9 It had everything but Cancellara and Sagan in the mix, due to be held up by a crash.

 

[luckyboy]

This was as good as it gets

 

[GP Blanco]

A 10, a really really great race with action from far out.

 

[gunara]

Has a race ever been so highly rated in this forum? But wth, this is just as good as it gets, an easy 10.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

When a rider like Hayman wins a race like this, and it is actually because he is the strongest of the five, then that can only be praised. Would have liked Edvald on the podium though

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

10+

 

[DFA123]

Obviously a 10. Only the most partisan of fanboys could vote for anything else.

If you didn't enjoy this you should stop watching cycling.

Have you ever rated a race or stage this high or even close?
