Paris-Roubaix

I would like to see Tom Boonen win today. I'm happy Cancellara isn't there today (I like Cancellara a lot. I mean he's an amazing athlete but I hate the team he rides for.. A team who last year had so many team leaders and so much talent that they were pretty shite in the end - best result being 2nd/3rd in TDF and winning Giro di Lombardia) because it means you will have a few outsiders with a chance! Who knows, even FDJ's Frederic Guesdon might win it for a second time before he retires. I think this race is the best one day race in the calendar year ahead of Milan-San-Remo. PR is just so exciting to watch, if you look away for 5 minutes you'll miss some crazy stuff! Crashes, cobbles, punctures. The whole lot :D

 

Boonen is the favourite and I think he'll win in a very close sprint. Flecha, Hushovd, Pozzato and some guy from Garmin all in the top 10 :)

f*** Hushovd, he's dirty. I'm going for Tom Boonen! We Belgians must be the best in this race, look at Roger de Vlaeminck. He won it 4 times and i hope Tom will win this one, he will win it for the 4th too :D

Tommeke wins! Attacked with 50k to go with Niki Terpstra who couldn't stay with him. Noone could catch him, even the next group of 3 Team Sky riders, 2 Rabobank guys as well as a few others. What a great win, and what a great spring classics for him! Won E3, Gent-Wevelgem, Tour of Flanders and now Paris-Roubaix! First person to do it as well. Woohoo Tom :D

This.

Why can't an underdog ever win :/

 

Well we saw Cancellara try a move like that at Flanders last year but to no avail so many thought he wouldn't stay away. As well as that he's not known for breaking away and staying clear to the finish. I'm glad that he did now.. Very gutsy ride :)
