Sun 11th April: Paris - Roubaix, 259km

[ChrisE]

Flecha goes now.

 

[pedaling squares]

So now Flecha thinks it's time to turn the cranks. Too little too late.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen is completely spent, Flecha riding away.

Boonen attacked way too much from way too far. Own mistakes

 

[Publicus]

Flecha finally makes his move. He should be the most rested out of everyone. And the gap comes down a bit! 2'19"

 

[39*23t]

Looks like Flecha is making friends today

 

[Mellow Velo]

Flecha's wheel sucking finally pays off. Waster.

 

[Lyds97]

Bless him for trying to animate Flanders Part II.

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

I predict the final gap will be back to about 1 minute. Cancellera just has to manage it now.

 

[ChrisE]

Time coming down now. It won't be long.

flecha seems to be getting around a second for every km. what a shame this race isn't 450km.

I hope flecha doesn't hold on for 2nd, he doesn't deserve it imo.
edit: he is back.

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

Will Boonen finish in the top three?

 

[red_flanders]

I hope it's like politics: when they start to laugh at you, you know you're finished or getting near to getting uncovered. Fans can't be treated like idiots.

So Cancellara is the only doped one? Come on.

 

[Bala Verde]

Swiss precision...

 

[hfer07]

Hushov hasn't done a thing either-he's literally slaving Hammond

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Pozzato exit. De Vlaeminck predicted this

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

pozzato done too...
I'd love to see leukemans on the podium.

 

[Parrot23]

And the gap comes down a bit! 2'19"

LOL, this has what's had me scratching my head. The gap keeps going up for half an hour.

 

[trompe le monde]

flecha seems to be getting around a second for every km. what a shame this race isn't 450km.

It would allow him to qualify for Paris-Brest-Paris!

 

[franciep10]

just disgraceful by flecha, following everybody not working for a second and then attacks insted of helping the chase

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Hushov hasn't done a thing either-he's literally slaving Hammond

that's the beauty off having a team mate in the group.

So Cancellara is the only doped one? Come on.

No, just the most effectively doped one...

[The Sheep]

Why wasn't vacansoleil put in the poll

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Cancellara 2'27 now

Flecha can close 10 seconds, and then they all lose time again
