Well, I'll bring up an old discussion. Watched the 2005 Paris-Roubaix
and whatever Hincapie said, I can't see why the hell he seemed to
simply decide to take the lead heading into the track. And once in the
lead, why he didn't hit the brakes and make someone, anyone, take the
lead. It didn't look like dead legs or any obvious superiority on the
part of Boonen - Hincapie gave him more respect than you'd give a
Kelly in his prime. Ride 260 kilos so you can have the best seat in
the house to watch Boonen win. Geez. It wasn't like there was anyone
else ready to ride up on them if they sparred for 500-600 meters or so
outside the track for position.
Hincapie - most clueless 'move' of 2005 award. Is it still open for
nominations? (This is all based on the assumption that after at least
4 close P-Rs to the podium, Hincapie wouldn't take sunglass money to
ride second - maybe a pollyanna about that.)
