Thanks.
I'd forgotten that Boonen did the double.
Hushovd, Flecha Boonen chasing still.
Sean kelly was just asked who is the best rider of this generation, he just said that Cancellara is the best (including Contador).
High praise.
What a great ride by Cancellara!!
It he could climb with the best on the big mountain stages he would become one of the greatest ever. Indurain weighted about the same as Cacellara and could climb. Cancellara definitely has the raw power, so I don't understand why he can not be up there with the climbers in the mountains. Anyway, hope he does well in the Tour of France.

He reminds me of BigMig : both very powerful.
Canc can't climb as well as the Big Man though.
Although some of the turns he did on the climbs in last years TDF were huge.

Cancellara is def killing it this year. Grand Tours....maybe not...One day savage beatings of the rest of the field seem to be almost expected from him. He gets in the TT position above his hoods and its over.....Doesnt even use his drops...its amazing.
Gotta give Leukemans credit - he at least tried to stay on Canc's wheel. The group Canc attacked from initally didn't even bother and right then and there resigned themselves to scrapping for the lesser placings...
The timing of Cancellara's attack was text book. Boonen slipped to the back of the small bunch (for whatever reason) and Fabian spotted it... Hammer down - see you later guys. Can't really do to much when a guy with an engine like that takes off.
Boonen looked like the race was about 20km too long for him today and what a ride by Hammond. Damn... In the early break, stayed with the leaders to help out Hushovd and took Boonen in the velodrome. He was a hard bast@rd when he rode in England but the boy's done good. 7th in Flanders and now 4th in Roubaix.
Took a look at a S-Works Roubaix SL2 yesterday (Fabian was on the still unreleased SL3). Stiffer than an anvil when riding out the saddle rocking the bike side to side - nice and comfy going over bumps. Nice bike but the standard geometry (headtube twice the height that it needs to be) is a little odd - bars too high and too close. The Team Geometry version with the standard headtube may be stunning bike.

I think Kelly cited Cancellara's one day record, along with his winning the Tour de Suisse as the basis for his decision.
Boonen is a one day rider really.
Cancellara can ride the one day races and the stage races.
Obviously a grand tour is probably beyond him given the likes of Contador but he is a fine stage rider nonetheless.
Just with regard to Boonen at P-R : in fairness he did try to break away from Cancellara several times particularly with 70kms to go in the race.
He tried three times to get away but he was marked all the way.
I still think that Canc's ride is the most impressive demonstration of power since I saw Museeuw win P-R.

It was ridiculous.
It was more like a time trial for the final 50kms.
He time trialled over 12 sections of pave!
Riis Reveals The Secret Of Cancellara's Roubaix Attack | Cyclingnews.com
Another example of why 'radio-controlled racing' must die...
Cancellara would have never known to attack when he did but for Riis telling him that Boonen was having a snooze in the back of the group...

I have nothing to add regarding Cancellara's dominant victory.
I just have to notice that 5 or 6 riders couldn't catch him in 50 kilometers. On contrary, his advantage was rising. Off course, right after the attack, they didn't organize the chase immediately (they couldn't 'cause of terrain), but when they did - it was useless. Smart suggestion from Riis to attack, 'cause till Cancellara came to decisive sectors of pave in last 20 kilometers, his advantage was out of other's reach, so he could approach to these sectors with more attention and less risk.
Now, if I was Saxo manager, I'd give freedom to Cancellara in Amstel. He's in form of his life, Schlecks aren't in such a good form to be only protected and sole leaders and with ambition to win all 5 monuments once, this transitional classic could be useful indicator of where Cancellara should improve his performance, even at the peak of his form. Actually, the fact that he's in top form could prove crucial for further planning.
His ambitions about remaining two monuments could be a nice way to a GT transition. Although my opinion is that the Tour is way out of his reach, with gradual transition, he could develop his climbing technique to the level of retrievable loses.
Transition should be gradual and careful, so he could maintain his power.
