***Paris Roubaix 2016*** Hell of the North Official Race Thread

Hmm, still 2 hours left, very interesting! I would bet on it coming back together at the moment...

Groups 2 and 3 will. Not sure about Canc and Sagan, once 2 & 3 join up there will be four Sky, four Lotto Jumbo and Tony Martin to drive it.

Yep, got some Lotto riders now helping

Just for the record, Roubaix is Anthony Knockaert's home town.

Has a lovely open air Velodrome, wonder if he used it much

Cancellara launches big attack at Orchies (a great place to start watching if you ever go out there for the day) lots of cobbles to come yet though

Some wet patches around as well

F**K Sky at front have a terrible pile up - think Rowe is out - whats a mess they were looking good

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

No they lose another one now, Stannard now all alone when two minutes ago he was one of four team riders

 

[Pantani]

Another off. Marginal gains? Teach them how to ride their bikes

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes lacking a bit of experience - lets hope Stannard can show them how its done

 

[Pantani]

Luke Rowe back in the lead group, impressive.

Big chute - Cancellra down and Terpstra

How did Sagan stay on his bike there? He basically rode over Cancellara and his bike.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wow Sagan rides over the crash

 

[banjo]

It's carnage out there.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Front group has a minute over Sagan group after the crash

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I think this may be the leading group taking a minute into last 8-9 Pave sections

Boonen (Etixx), Burghardt (BMC), Haussler, Saramotins (IAM), Hayman (Orica), Rowe,Stannard (Sky) Sieberg (Lotto Soudal), Vanmarcke (Lotto Jumbo), Boason Hagen (Dimension Data) and Erviti (Movistar).

Someone new could get some glory here

 

[pb21]

Whose going to take this then? Hard to call but I'm going to go for Boonen, mainly as it will take him up to 5 wins, Bosan-hagen if it comes to a sprint though...

 

[Bold Seagull]

Come on Stannard. Will he have to work for Rowe though? Either, would be great to have a bit of granite back in the uk!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Rowe or Stannard would be great

 

[Hamilton]

I hadn't realized Haussler was up there. Strong chance.
