Did Sean Kelly just say that the chasers were working quite well together?

Looks like Leukemans is back after the flat.

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

20 miles to get him back.

I feel like I'm watching cycling manager

If you play it on easy.

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

I wasn't offended, I'm not such a big fan to be insulted by comments like that, whether joking or serious. He did mention having knee problems before the race. but he said he was ok. I hope it's a mechanical, bad luck doesn't last forever, but an injury could last a while.

i think so

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leukemans returned! Jeej!

 

[BroDeal]

Wonder by how many minutes Cancellara will win by?

At this rate about four minutes.

That shows how hard they are working together

 

[Bala Verde]

So...who will be second?

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

doesn't he get the jersey for regularity?

 

[python]

even the motobike cant get away from him

Well phone the car and tell Flecha to do some freaking work!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Well Armstrong certainly won't!
Once again I get him into a discussion he has no right to be in.

 

[franciep10]

This group is full of wheelsuckers only Boonen is doing real work

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

Fab is trying to fiddle with his breaks!

 

[Spare Tyre]

:d:d

Oops ... that's supposed to be the laughing emoticon (At least I've got up to 10 characters now.)

I think youd need a ferrari to catch cancellara today..

20 miles to get him back.

I don't believe anybody can take more than 1 1/2 minute in 20 k on Cancellara in a race like this. On flat road by an organised chase by sprinter, but not like this. Barring accidents of cause. He could go cold, but I don't think it's likely from Cancellara.

I think Cancellara has a Ferrari too. Just not in car form.

 

[Bala Verde]

Boonen let himself in "the luren leggen."

One moment of inattentiveness and the race was decided. One moment where he sat in the back, maybe hubris after those pulls on the cobbles and that little tap on Cancellara's shoulder. Stretched himself, overlooking the field like Caesar, seeing it was a good day...

And Spartacus was gone.

I was thinking that.

New sponsor for Shack at Tour of California: Metamucil.

Yeah, which might give us an exciting race for 2nd

Cancellara has a back break problem. Maybe the wheel has buckled slightly.

Not effecting his time though.
