Gilbert would have been game. He pulled for GvA at the 2014 Worlds despite GvA being a bit off. The guy with a real track record for disobeying team orders is Stijn VdB (who could do well tmwr, btw).

Sagan on mech and 9000, not 9100, taking notes from fabian. I will say i agree with that, di2 does not handle crashes well and he has twice had issues at Roubaix. Sagan is mad, you can tell, GVA is probably too deep in the reserves at this point, and everybody will follow QS. Degenkolb is the biggest threat with Kristoff as a rider they have to get rid of. I think katusha will try an early move, QS will try to blow it apart early and get boonen into a break. Then in all comes down to mechanicals and staying upright.

Group sprint: degenkolb
Anything else: Sagan


Wild card: farrar

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

I like where your head's at, even if you're 3 days deep into a peyote session in a teepee out in Sedona. That's like 6 tiers past wildcard, and so deep into mathematical la-la land to find a plausible scenario where Farrar wins that Watson would start throwing circuit breakers and causing nationwide brownouts.

I'm not a Farrar-hater like some. He's had himself a long ProTour career and found his limits. And he's the sole American racing this year. But wow. Well played.

He is the only american, have to give him a chance!! Farrar is like hausler, amazing talent but things never seem to work out. Dimension data only have farrar to support, who knows, he has good endurance and a great sprint, if everybody is watching QS he might just get away. I wonder what the betting odds are on him?

Tyler has paid and paid for his on camera whining. Great career, American won stages in I think 3 gt's ? Rides this race well.
Would be cool to see him up there.

Big tailwind and no break. I'm guessing we're going to see a favorite or 2 try to go long.

They just took the live stream down from YouTube. Anywhere else to watch it

Go straight to Tiz Cycling.
GvA in trouble, Terpstra out.
Welcome to Roubaix.

thank you

Van Baarle is looking a lot like Hayman last year.

GvA doesnt look so good after all that chasing earlier

Can you imagine how hard it must be when Boonen's on the front with that body language?

No.

No.

Degenkolb and Kristoff and Greipel and Damare still in.

Greipel

that WOULD BE AWESOME




and Stybar!!!!!

Looks like about 15 guys with anything left and the rest waiting to get dropped.

Haymaker time on Mons en Pavele

Cannondale is riding a nice race. Boone is either really locked and loaded and patient or is fading at 45 k.

Just not Sagan's day. Flats on both big moves as he's delivering body blows.

Time for TB and PS to lay it out there. But this has GvA written all over it.

Stybar is in a good position too. He doesn't have to do anything with Boone behind

Is NBC Sports Gold working for anybody? It's been down all morning for me. Very frustrating to pay for this.

GvA better push on.

indeed; looks good for Stybar and GvA, who probably had an "easier" last 10km

Bodner and Burghardt doing impressive work for Sagan today
