Sun 11th April: Paris - Roubaix, 259km

[B.Rasmussen]

I was just kidding. I'm sure he'd be in the chasing group normally. Probably a mechanical issue.

You weren't that wrong...he has knee problems according to Riis.

 

[Spare Tyre]

Maybe Cancellara's hoping he'll break their spirits?

 

[Lyds97]

The group's too big. Someone who reckons they've got the legs needs to put the hammer down and drop some of the hangers-on.

 

[hfer07]

Cancellara just got his 2nd classic win(unless a puncture or falling)-the remain guys are fighting for the crumbles....

 

[skidmark]

There's enough time, someone wanna start a new poll as to who will get second in Paris-Roubaix 2010?

 

[Bala Verde]

Leukemans punctures

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

I still don't believe this is over. A lot can happen in 35 kms.

 

[franciep10]

have they gone by the train tracks cause that's the only way Cancellara get's caught

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Flat tire Leukemans, nooooo I wanted to gloat against ACF94 about how much better he is than Hincapie

Edit: 1'21

 

[Epicycle]

the other guys are forcing Cervelo to sacrifice their extra man... and then they will have to take turns...

But still... up against a 500cc.

I think he took the full liter.

 

[Spare Tyre]

1' 19"


The Boonen group are sort of working together, but ...

 

[balkou]

with his red white crossed jersey looks like an ambulance dispatched for helping someone...

 

[saxofan]

this is just friking amazing!! I can't take down more hats for this guy

 

[Race Radio]

Hincapie is 1:40 back now

 

[jaylew]

Group not working well together...why isn't Hammond burying himself? Already stuffed?

 

[Publicus]

Flecha is doing absolutely no work. Gap is approaching 1'30". This is farking ridiculous.

 

[Bala Verde]

the groups is not working together, they are not strong enough and know they have been beaten

Bar a mechanical and a bad bike change, it's over.

 

[issoisso]

I feel like I'm watching cycling manager

 

[zapata]

This is ridiculous. He's increasing all the time. unless they get organized, he'll win byten minutes. are they saving themselves for sprinting for second?

 

[Spare Tyre]

There's enough time, someone wanna start a new poll as to who will get second in Paris-Roubaix 2010?

Might be a good idea.

 

[Tom T.]

Cance isn't even breathing hard!

 

[trompe le monde]

Wonder by how many minutes Cancellara will win by?

 

[Mellow Velo]

"Glassy" Flecha is such a work horse.
The group is royally screwed with him and Pozatto swanning about.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So...who will be second?

Boonen seems to be the safe bet, 2nd in Paris Tours, 2nd in San Remo, 2nd in Flanders

 

[Parrot23]

I'm waiting to see Spartacus blow Contador off his back wheel on some of the big Tour climbs. Come on guys, we've gotta be believers here.

NB: Boonen also has himself to blame: he was nowhere near Cancellara when the latter decided to go and was really slow to react. Just a dumb moment by a smart rider.
