OK. Whose gonna win?
Boonen? Devolder? Chavanel? Crowley? Regarding the Tour Of Flanders, wasn't it nice to have decent Eurosport coverage just like it used to be? _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character). |

Yeah, it was a pity about the crashes towards the end it would have kept the excitement going that bit longer as the non-sprinters like Flecha (my tip) would have had to have gone on the attack.
The crowds were bonkers today, weren't they?!! _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character). |

Having a paris rouxbais without the inevitable crashes would be like having a sunday roast with no gravey !!! capishe !!!! cobles + cycling = mayhem !!!! and thats what makes this seperate the cyclists from the double hard bar**ards, given them a chance to shine the same way the ridiculous 20% climbs do the same for the skinny mountain goat type brigade ! |

Agree with Charles there, the ability to stay up on the cobbles is what makes a Roubaix champion!

Well actually, although we didn't see it, Boonen had clearly done a bit of sky-ground sky-ground himself!
One of the best editions for a while. I've got Guesdon's win in '97 on a video tape somewhere and that was an exciting one too and who can forget the Mapei trio riding off the front on their steel forked carbon C40's in '96?? _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character). |

Guesdon riding Roubaix 12 years later deserves a big up in my books

Agreed. Back in 1997 I remember a recently retired Sean Yates commentating with Duffers and being excited when the chasing group caught the two breakaways (Tchmil and Moncassin) at the entrance to the stadium and 'Mr. Nobody' won the sprint. Epic!
