[rkan2]

Remember that Vansummeren had a rear puncture for the last 3km!

[legendarystar11]

Even though fabian lost he put up his effort and try to maintain his 1st place even though he loses it.

[mombus]

This was the best race of the year. I have never been so happy for a rider... everyone in the peloton was happy for him. What a great day.

[Triple777ER]

@TheHyroi Yes I agree with you. I didn't like it when he protested in 2010 TDF and neutralized the stage. Ofcourse I agree its for the safety of the peloton, but there are riders out there who have worked so hard to get to the TDF and then are stolen of a chance of victory. Sometimes being too nice is not a nice thing!

[Kicksmeintheshowers]

Belgian cycling is back baby. Big time!!

Duluth*, MN. I'm not from Minnesota, I apologize for the spelling error.

@TOKIOHOTEL1000000 and MasterBombadillo , Americans can be sarcastic as well, assuming that Americans are stupid because of sarcastic comments they've posted is a stupid thing to do.

That's not a Minneapolis accent, they don't speak anything remotely close to French in Minnesota, and it looks nothing close to Minneapolis (maybe Deluth, but even that's a stretch) it was obviously a joke.

[soulripper31]

@teachme2raji

It's Dutch, not French. Can't you even tell the difference between a Romance language and a Germanic language lol?

[robertytoop]

This race is between two cities in France, Paris and Roubaix

[astrophilip]

where is this race held? St. Louis or Minneapolis or something?

i will make sure to head out to the midwest for next yr's race!

[nanobikerdotcom]

@astrophilip Yeah I think it's in Minneapolis; you can tell by the helicopter view and the accent of the announcer.

[MasterBombadillo]

@nanobikerdotcom Are you seriously thinking that? Paris-Roubaix is held in France. The name "Paris" should be known everywhere, even in the USA, as the capital of France.

The accent of the announcer is a language called Dutch. The announcer has little to do with the country where the race is held.

[TOKIOHOTEL1000000]

@nanobikerdotcom @astrophilip

ARE YOU STUPID OR JUST AMERICANS (sorry it's the same)

[astrophilip]

@TOKIOHOTEL1000000

Cancellara isn't an angel in the mountains, but he actually isn't that bad at climbing for his weight.

Incredible this hard days race isn't covered by crap BBC news (probably SKY also)on the sports roundup on sunday. BUT if Wiggins , Thomas or Hunt had come top 3, they would have. How biased is that.? They would have had a harder day than that lot at the Masters and not worth a mention as always.

[minarelli125]

@WRTYIO - BBC would rather be showing darts and all other shit sports that nobody has been interested in since 1974.

[pdemos]

It's called tactics. Why would Thor do any work. That's the point of putting Johan out there or have you not watched cycling in the past 10 years.

[arklat]

Yeah, he's a beast allright! That is, as long as there are no long climbs involved. Maybe he'll improve as a climber, but I doubt it! Anyway, he did win second place!

[davidwill6]

Cancellara, only cyclist who wins sprints without getting out of the saddle

[bennyc9111]

Schitterend Johan. Vanharte gegund. Tsjalingi heeft het trouwens ook schitterend gedaan. Jammer dat Balan en Hushovd zo negatief gekoerst hebben

[chowychow]

Thor and Flecha were just wheel suckers On Cancellara wheel most of the time

[evsakai]

Cancellara is a beast!!!, everybody was just stuck on his wheel and getting pulled around, he did not complain, just kept his head down and kept attacking, although he was not the winner today he was the hero of the day....

[nydolls73]

Who would have known Summeren would have won. Once he broke off, I didn't even feel like watching because I felt like he was gonna get caught, crash, or puncture (which he somewhat did in the end). Then Cancellara's attack came and I got more nervous. But once Johan was in the velodrome, I knew it was all his. Fantastic job and redemption for the Garmin-Cervelo boys after a dissapointing spring classics campaign.

[georgetcr]

haha 10:06 

[xperia69]

@georgetcr

you know it hurts



[KopileMrTvo]

@georgetcr hahhaha

[Danf0n]

@georgetcr wat gebeurt daar precies?

[Bartofilux]

@georgetcr : what's happen to the other Rabobank's cyclist?!?!?

[Mestertyf]

@georgetcr - booty sweat and bustin' a nut! lol.

[Triple777ER]

Fabian Cancellara is the greatest sportsman on this planet. The way he accepts defeat is just like no other. Greatest sportsmanship ever. Such a lovable guy.

[chimbowamba1]

@Triple777ER lol you must be gay tough...
