Paris-Roubaix

MPFGLB

Tony Martin is an animal...if only he got a chance to ride for himself

pelevin

No leeway at all now for things like mechanicals for the big guys caught out here you'd imagine. Full gas for a long way ahead.

JK.BMC

This is savage! And we still haven't hit Arenberg yet.

neris

Tony martins face looks seriously disfigured when hes riding like that, looks like hes no eyes just a big hole where his mouth is

MPFGLB

Gee Sean Kelly had a lot of fear in his day....

JK.BMC

Grouppo Explosee!

Great commentary

pelevin

They've not been too hot in finishing things off of late I suppose but Etixx have certainly been generally the great team for shaking things up & making these races come alive.

MPFGLB

SOMEONE help Tony Martin FFS...SKY /Lotto get your finger out

MPFGLB

IS Sam Bennett still there behind Sagan ?

pelevin

Though surely the Etixx lads should just force things, step aside & make the others work. Admirable but also bit stupid to take all the load on themselves. Don't think they'll feel much consolation in moral victories.

Daroxtar

Sagan and Spartacus giving it socks now in the chase group. It's beginning to crank up

mossym

the sky is falling the sky is falling

ouch

The cobbles take a big name there, is he up again?

neris

Spartacus down, sagan still up

DominoDub

Sagan has luck on his side today ...!

neris

Lad with a sign saying "rte stop" what does he want rte to stop doing??

mossym

luck? might be a bit of luck for sagan but looking at it looks like incredible handling. mountain bike skills to the fore again

68 lost souls

looked like Sagan rode over Sparticus' bike there

velo.2010

AARGH!! The bleeding ads! C'mon Yoyosport.

Hide behind the post

Got to hand it to Cancellara .... back in the saddle after that..... Beast!!

velo.2010

This race gets more exhausting to watch every year!

They are doing my head in. Along with israel and audi. Theyve been running the same ad for the last few years

pelevin

Overall I'd consider ES good in terms of ads but they're really taking the pish now.

JK.BMC

Boassen-Hagen- bar a fall!

Which is eminently possible during the ad breaks

pelevin

Actually just switched to the "UCI World Tour" live feed without commentary with ES, avoiding the ad breaks.

neris

How the feck can hear if theres a screech of brakes

neris

Dont know if stannard n hayman can hold in with the other 3 to fight it out for 1st

neris

Good come back from hayman

DominoDub

Sky picked the wrong bottle cage for this race Standard has lost half a dozen bottles over the cobbles ...everytime time he looks down to get a drink they are empty ....marginal gains :cool:

JK.BMC

That is some leading group! Like the tight 5 on the Lions rugby team. Big beasts!

Once they don't fanny about too much, like now- although very experienced.

neris

Van marko

JK.BMC

'Cet and Meouse'

Darkglasses

That was amazing, delighted for Hayman!!

neris

Go orica backstage pass should be good

G1032

Wow. What a race. It'd put the heart crossways in ya watching that!

Darkglasses

Don't think he could believe he did it!

pelevin

God, I'm shattered and I didn't pedal an inch. Was roaring for Boonen there.

pelevin

Anyway, chapeau to Hayman & everyone else. Amazing race.

neris

Dont think ive ever been so tense watching the last10ks of a race, that was brilliant

SomeFool

Pablo Rubio

Dramatic....epic!!!
The shock on Haymans face.

ptr_84

Personally I would have loved a two up sprint between boonen and cancellara but what a fantastic finish. Emotional scenes seeing fabian doing a well deserved lap of honour

pelevin

All that effort to win a bit of a rock.

Daroxtar

That was one hell of a scrap.
