Boonen is the strongest followed by Cancellara. If Hincape is going to win, it will be now or never. He had pretty good form last week, but was probably 95% or so. He should pick that up this week (whatever the method) and because of the chaotic nature of P-R, he has a shot depending on how the chips fall. It may rain, so any of the top 25 riders have a shot in that instance. No rain or cold (forecast is for both of those), and Boonen creams the field in the most likely scenario.whiteboytrash said:
I think George is going to pull the "Mickelson" and finally win a major.
I have told this story before, but I found cyclingforums by typing "Cadel Evans is a wheelsucking *****" into Google. True story.fscyclist said:

Thanks for that! This is the first time I am watching footage of Paris Roubaix, and boy, I'm going to be really sorry about missing most of the race this Sunday. But is this what the team director keeps saying to the rider? You're the best; you're the man; you're the strongest, etc.?Crankyfeet said:

Hincapie finished 5th by following wheels. There are 40 riders who could do the same if that was there objective. He will finish 8th and you guys will krap on about a great performance. Its those who take the chance and win against the possibility of finishing 40th - case in point O'Grady last year. Hincapie never backs himself and takes the chance therefore he'll never win.
Uh yea, your powers of observation are broken. Let me see, Mussew and Boonen took "the chance and win against the possibility of finishing 40th." Brilliant observation there Ray Charles.whiteboytrash said:
What was it he did to finish 2nd? You do remember that his best finish wasn't 5th...right? And he lost to a guy who took "the chance to win against the possibility of finishing 40th." Good one, a real knee slapper you have vetted there WBT. Just goes to show that sarcasm and wit (minimal as it is) does not a intelligent observation make.

I go for Boonen. But Thunder... as you probebly know by now Boonen is my pick but... I hope for Gilbert...
Roubaix is a numbers game. O'Grady looked real strong today. I have to think that the combination of O'Grady and Cancellara make them the favorites. I know. Obvious choice. Boonen's team is not as strong this year. He will have to do it on his own and that will be tough.
