Sun 11th April: Paris - Roubaix, 259km

[Tom T.]

I think Boonen wants to get it down to 3 or 4 riders. I don't think he likes the big group. Wasting too much energy.....Cance might end up riding away from him in the last 10-20km.

 

[Bala Verde]

Leukemans too.

 

[issoisso]

Hoste enlists his friend Leukemans to attack. And someone else goes along. Didn't quite catch who.

EDIT: Hinault

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

It must be demoralising for Boonen that his attacks are so easily closed down.

 

[issoisso]

Same story as last week. Boonen too jittery, wasting energy all over the place. Then Cancellara will make a move closer to the finish and he'll have no response

EDIT: And there he goes. Didn't expect him to do it this soon

[Tom T.]

Cance just caught Boonen napping!!!

 

[Spare Tyre]

Does Boonen realize Cancellara has gone?!!

Oh, now he does.

 

[Lyds97]

Boonen hasn't got the legs.

 

[ChrisE]

[The Sheep]

This is interesting

 

[zapata]

Ach! Nobody chasing. Is this it?

 

[issoisso]

This morning a reporter asked Boonen what his worst nightmare is. He said having to close a big gap on Cancellara.

Prophetic

 

[trompe le monde]

Oooh, Cancellara feels like a 50km time trial.

 

[Mellow Velo]

They are all fiddling while a roman burns! Massive!!

 

[pedaling squares]

It will take some cooperation to get him back... not sure they're up to it.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leukemans

Where is BMC btw??

VAC > BMC

Boonen, Hushovd, Flecha and Pozzato in pursuit

 

[Pantheon of Greats]

Boonen has a group to work with this time.
