SPARTACUSSSS!!! I look forward to Cancellara's continued domination, especially after the UCI starts inspecting for electric motors, because it will shut up all these naysayers who are whispering about "mechanical doping."

@Panzerwurfer Boonen never claimed that you nitwit

@kenny230862just like what i said,cancellara didn't win any title in 2011.

[kenny230862]

@slowspeed888 its unbelievable how ignorant and stupid some people are, slowspeed888 a good name for you, i guess it must prefer to the speed of how fast your brain moves, moron.

1:31 - "Cancellara is over the toooop"

However many times I watch this it still amazes me. One of the greatest attacks I've ever seen.

[dugfriendly]

I think the difference was Spartacus caught the smooth inside line and attacked the hill. Boonen was bouncing around and it made a difference that instant. Great tactics & timing.

[slowspeed888]

needless to say, cancellara will never win a major tour in 2011 because he will not dare to use his motor bike again. mother of all shame in cycling

Afterwards, Boonen was gracious in defeat and made no allegations against Cancellara.

[MochaeMoepfli]

Even though it looks extreme and a mechanical doping seems a good explanation I still think that Canca's wins last year were due to big tactical mistakes by Boonen. In the TofFlanders Tom was in the wrong gear and in Paris-Roubaix Tom just wasn't watching him. And in a 1-on-1 time trial between Boonen and Canca, Canca always wins. So it's either follow him as a group or everybody loses.

Let's see what happens next weekend. But they will be talking about that motor again.
