Congrats Gerard!! That win is about as good as it gets... one of (if not THE most) respected & toughest races in the world, certainly the classic of classics, and done so convincingly. Heck of a way to "introduce" the R3 to the world. Fabian was indeed a stongman today!

Thanks dude for ruining the results of the race for me, as I had it hasn't yet been broadcast where I live. Next time please have a better title to indicate the spoiler status of your email.

What they don't broadcast OLN at the bridge you live under? It's not a spolier when the race is done - dude.
Nevertheless, I'll refrain talking about it until the DVD comes out.

I hope Hincapie is OK, that looked scary.

I can't bear the sites & sunds of George whining again about things not going his way. My tires were too flat (from last year's P-R Chasing Lance episode), him sulking about Leif Hoste attacking without letting him know at Flanders last week, and now waaaah crying on the side of the road because his fork broke... he's almost as big a whiner as David Millar.

OK, granted he can be a baby some times, but dude - his steerer tube broke. there's nothing you can do about that one.
He's lucky not to be hurt. With all the bloody technology going tinto this sport, it sucks to have to end a race because of a mechanical.

If a thread title reads "Paris Roubaix Results" wouldn't you just assume it's going to talk about who won? If you don't want to know the results of the race, why the hell did you open up the thread called "Paris Roubaix Results"? Just a thought.

GH seemed to handle it pretty well... didn't panic, didn't take anyone else out, landed on the grass (I think).

Word is his shoulder is hurt pretty badly and surgery is likely.

"Heck of a way to "introduce" the R3 to the world."
I recall a thread a short while ago where someone was asking if the R3 would be strong enough and siff enough for 185 pound rider. I am sure that if it can take the pounding on the cobbles of Paris Roubaix from one of the most powerful men in the pro peleton it will be good enough for the 185 pound weekend warrior!
Indeed, congratulations to Cervelo - yet another significant achievement for a great Canadian company.

What a baseless, asshole thing to say.
"George Hincapie, the man who probably suffered the worst fate of all in this 104th Paris-Roubaix - his steerer tube breaking when he had all the chances for a victory in the race - has been diagnosed with a fracture between his collarbone and shoulder blade."
And you think he was whining?

I think there is some irony to the R3's fine performance and the failure of Hincapie's machine....

Did George break his collarbone (clavicle) or his scapula? If it’s his scapula then he will be just fine, and probably on his bike in a week. The clavicle is a whole other story and from what I hear, way more painful. I feel bad for George; this was his big chance. How many times are you going to get a train to stop Boonen just before the final stretch before the stadium?

You're absolutely right. For a race like PR, you go with what works. You don't test ride some prototype hybrid combination of parts Trek had lying around... especially not some fork that is supposed to be ridden on an upright bike by posers with too much money.

Whoaaaa there Son. Hold your horses- and check your facts.
1. In my time in the bike industry I've probably sold over 2000 Trek branded bicycles from Trek, LeMond and Fisher.
2. My store is not a Trek dealer now.
3. I was not "bad mouthing" any product. I said the following:
"there is irony..."
That is utterly different than bad mouthing any specific product- which I actually did not name. You did.

I only hope the R3 is less flat-tire prone ;-)
Re: Paris-Roubaix Results [House]
[ In reply to ]
Specifically, the fact that there have been several threads on this forum that have questioned the durability of the R3's seat stays. Then, a rider wins Paris Roubaix on one.
