Okay. Paris-Roubaix is tomorrow. This is perhaps George Hincapie's most important race of the year. At age 35, hopes of winning this race is fading; and it's fading quickly. So, the big question - Can he finally win? There is no question, this is a real sentimental choice. He's cone everything but win it. He's been consistently strong, and consistently unlucky. One slip from Cancellara or Boonen, and I believe he's a real threat to win. What ya think?
Hi MrMartin...just saw ur post..I watched this race on versus yesterday. It was really brutal with all those cobblestone roads...Too bad re: George...unlucky again with that flat tire ...took him outa the race...Hope George does better in other races as he's getting a bit old...
Originally posted by dustycatVersus. I must be a complete shmuck. I pay the gold membership at cyclingtv.com and watch all the classics/grande tours. never thought to check the versus' listing. Anyway, yeah, Georgie was unlucky. According to cyclingnews.com George says he feels great and cannot see why he wouldn't race paris-roubaix next year. Great race! lots of crashes! You'd think this would appeal to canadian/american folks specially with nascar and all. Think the cycling crashes are more intense - not to mention the terrain these guys have to endure. Tom had a good race. oh yeah, I hate Pozzoto. I pissed he didn't time trial the E3 and I think thats why the belgiums hate him also (among other things) Yeah not to finish the E3 TT - should be auto disqualification. Well Amstel coming up this Sunday. If Versus' doesn't cover - look into cyclingtv the coverage is awesome. Do you ride? where u livin? I ride (group 22-25 mainly on flats South Carolina near the Ocean) Later dude. Hey! what you think about rock racing kit? thinking about getting jersey/bib but so damn expensive. Graphics are killer
