    Are the rest of the Boonen group racing? And if so for what? Surely they want to win?

    Fabian is amazing - but just riding away like that from the worlds best riders - too amazing for me liking...

    I do think he originally attacked while Boonen was taking on food and drink and caught Boonen out.

    Cancellara is a monster, but the group really could push on more surely?

    he's doing a Landis type feat IMO...he'll end up winning the thing by 3 minutes...wonder if his enigmatic coach will have a word?

    Canc is making everyone else look crap.


    Haven't seen anyone this good at Roubaix since Museeuw.

    Stunning, but an anti-climax.

    Well it isn't hard, look at the effort Cancellara is putting in compared to the chasing group.

    The CHAMPION is giving it everything in a super aero position whereas the others are just bloody coasting not even getting aero. Boonen must be super pissed.

    He's the world time trail champion and the other group just are not organised so i don't know why people are so amazed. Especially after Flanders. We know he's a super rider...

    At the very top level the differences should be increasingly small. This is a chasm. :shock:
