Sun 11th April: Paris - Roubaix, 259km

[Tom T.]

3 minutes. Yup, anyone but Cance and I'd be suspicious.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Flens was spent after early break. Tjallingii did some attack and then flatted (according to report). Boom good until 200km -> done.
Langeveld not good.

 

[ChrisE]

3 mins. Seems like he would slow up and coast now, so it wouldn't be so stupid looking.

 

[pedaling squares]

Pretty sad that Cervelo still have 2 men in the chase group.

 

[Spare Tyre]

He'll have time to give a couple of press conferences before the other riders come in.

yup that seems to be their story...

Maybe he means with Cancellara he's not so much suspicious as he is sure

 

[Race Radio]

The crucial point that solidifies his performance? Come on let's be serious...

?

Not sure how you derived that from what I wrote. I was complimenting Saxo for looking after their rider. Smart driving by the DS....who is it in the #1 car today, Looks like Kim Anderson

 

[Spare Tyre]

Pretty sad that Cervelo still have 2 men in the chase group.

Yeah, but at least they've done some work.

 

[aarnold517]

if the chase group stays together, should be an entertaining sprint between boonen, hushovd and pozzato

 

[The Sheep]

30 seconds left

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

all of a sudden it's 30 seconds amazing burst of speed by thor

 

[ak-zaaf]

Maybe he means with Cancellara he's not so much suspicious as he is sure

Who cares? Canc is awesome!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boonen dropped by Flecha and Hushovd.

 

[Parrot23]

Maybe he means with Cancellara he's not so much suspicious as he is sure

LOL, Saxo need a guy from Pravda to take over their press duties.

 

[ChrisE]

Boonen's wasted.

 

[pedaling squares]

Yeah, but at least they've done some work.

True, but maybe if they'd sacrificed one 35 kms ago they could have closed the gap.

For all I've criticized Flecha I should mention how Pippo's been hanging at the back too. But he just doesn't look as strong.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

poor boonen.

considering the work done the two vying for 2nd and 3rd isn't a huge surprise.

 

[Parrot23]

There is no longer any doubt in my mind.

If I want to get better I need to go buy a Specialized.

No, I'm going for one of Cipo's bikes: boosts testosterone levels naturally, and pheromone levels, so you get to get one of the podium gals too.

 

[zapata]

too bad for boonen, he wasted a lot of energy earlier. how long before flecha attacks hushovd?

 

[Publicus]

Looks like Spartacus is starting to feel it a bit.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

True, but maybe if they'd sacrificed one 35 kms ago they could have closed the gap.

For all I've criticized Flecha I should mention how Pippo's been hanging at the back too. But he just doesn't look as strong.

I doubt they would have even closed the gap then. Spartacus has always had the ability to hold of larger groups.

 

[franciep10]

Boonen is spent

 

[39*23t]

Boonen's wasted.

Hats off to him though. At least he rode for the win

 

[ChrisE]

He's finally slowing up I think.
