Tom Boonen Specialized Roubaix Commercial

[davidtil]

the frames on the roubaix are crap. And if you think specialized is going to fix a cracked frame for you you're dead wrong. Do yourself a favor and find a new bike...not made by specialized.

[timmy585]

he sounds like ezio

[finnrambo1]

@baroh2413 he also had a lot helping him out such as tailwinds and there used to be little paved sidewalks along the cobblestones, but your right though it's not about the bike

[finnrambo1]

@kaspermaertans ik he's better than me and I have alot of respect for his 3 Paris roubaix wins and him losing the 2010 paris roubaix wasn't his fault but cmon tour of Flanders 2010 he couldve won that one and I find it sad that he lost to Fabian cancellara on that one

[baroh2413]

In 1964 before anybody had thought of bikelabs og bikeengineers OR carbonfiber bikeframes Peter Post rode the fastest Paris-Roubaix ever at an average speed of 45.131 km/h over a course of 265 km ... it's not about the bike!

[Stianlolz]

@baroh2413 , maybe its not all about the bike on the flats, but in the mountains a light stiff frame can save you alot of time and power

[baroh2413]

@DBquarterback today you can dope

[baroh2413]

Why no gloves?

[finnrambo1]

I am Tom Boonen, I always lose to Fabian Cancellara

[kaspermaertens]

@finnrambo1 So what, he's better than you. LOSER

[Sin578]

lol, bike advert fail. he has a big ass chan ring mark on his right calf :P

[danielkimdjk]

what are those sunglasses at 0:02?

[reika1104]

@danielkimdjk dat helmet brand called giro? i m not 100% sure

[danielkimdjk]

@reika1104 ......."SUNGLASSES"

[reika1104]

@danielkimdjk I'd mean sunglasses, giro does make the sunglasses which had been adopted by many riders like contacdor in past season. anyway, i m not too sure about the one here, maybe BBB as well

[mattfaulkner]

@reika1104 Boonen's glasses in this commercial are Specialized, he currently wears BBB.

[alfredinni]

@danielkimdjk sunglasses are specialized miura regular size...one of the most famous sunglassess in the last year for the international peloton

[mrpostalot]

I am "high"

[TheTroutBumNZ]

Best Bike ever - mind you i am biased - I own one and they are really awesome.

[Chachy71]

Bet he wishes he could have a Specialized like Cancellara's

[davematthews18]

Please! Boonen has nothing on the Schleck Brothers! They could trash anybody on their Specialized bikes. :)

[albruley]

Boonen Rocks! If a Specialized bike can stand up to his power then I think they might work for me!

[ilcazza90]

i am tom boonen...i am sniffalized

[ringomaan]

I can't stand Specialized, I actually hate the name, so generic, Soulless and made by kids in Taiwan. But i am glad people ride them , they all look the same. hahahaha

[pyropig7]

What kind of a comment was that? High end treks all look similar to other high end treks, high end specialized look like other high end specialized. The difference is in the components, cranks, wheelsets, etc. The only noticeable difference amongst similar use bikes within a brand are between the high end and low end when you actually have different frames.

[Sammyfest]

That's what YOU think and I bet all of your belongings are made by "kids in Taiwan" too. Your comment makes me sick.

[tommeke2k5]

TOM BOONEN IS SIMPLY THE BEST

[dclaghorn]

If you like crack-heads... I used to love him. Now, got no use for the dude.

[tommeke2k5]

@dclaghorn

hdf du affengeburt

[wrigleyx]

tom the snifer!! lool!!!

[jonas187]

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd!!!!!

[zz99mt]

Tom Boonen is very good cyclist !!! And very good sprinter !! =)

[ProudTarjaholic]

haha he won roubaix 2009, even with another bike at the end!

he's great (though his english is quite bad lol)

[debakle001]

You mean his accent? his English is impeccable in this clip anyway

[ProudTarjaholic]

sure his accent!

he won't have written the text by himself lol

[tommeke2k5]

@debakle001

?

he is cyclist, he don´t must to speek good english -.-

[czernym01]

He uses this bike for race Paris Rubaix and he wins in this race again.

[zippcyclist]

plus he doesn't use his roubaix bike in the sprints and the commercial is about the bike. He uses a custom made sprinting specific tarmac model.

[zippcyclist]

don't forget that he was the world road champion in his carrier before and that isn't necessarily just sprinting

[robieski]

He won the sprint...

But he had a lot more qualities than sprinting.

[EddyK901]

sorry mr tom boonen but i believe you are a sprinter. why can't wee see a replay of some epic sprint battles instead of wasting our time watching him climb, when in reality he is around 40-50 mins behind the climbers in the TDF on a stage. Don't get me wrong he's a fantastic sprinter, this vid jst doesnt reflect that

[frost1337]

Too bad he got kicked out of the race...

[Specike]

Untold :)

[Taurus0423]

YES! THANK-YOU!! Ohhhh, finally, someone actually made a commercial video SPECIFICALLY for this fantastic man! That other, Time-Trial bike video always made me cringe.

[ivasilic]

I was waiting to someone put this video on YouTube. Saw it on TV, but could not find it until now. Thanks!
