Top 5?
1) Cancellara
2) Boonen
3) Vanmarcke
4) Stybar
5) Sagan
9(or so)) Stannard. Let's not overrate him.
Sagan would be higher on RvV though, but I just don't think he has it in him even podium Roubaix.
Sagan is yet to ride Roubaix, i think he will skip it again this year, we will see. That is certainly not best course for him, compared to other classics...

And now i have found on web pages of Sagan, that he should ride Roubaix for the first time in his life, so we will see how he can cope with that. Should be fun.

I think he's raced it in 2010/11, and also I believe this has been known for a couple of months  https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/sagan...ix-in-2014

Disappointing Avin. At least I knew that Kelderman didn't ride Roubaix yet

The Cannondale guys talked about early last year, that his position in the saddle makes him a very good bike handler but makes him crap on the cobbles. That he will change it to something better for the cobbles (the process takes years) which will also make him a much worse bike handler
And that's why they haven't sent him to Roubaix recently

As long as he still does wheelies...

I think Cancellara will win RvV and Terpstra will revv away to win Roubaix and that there wasn't really ant dominance.

Ewan Wilson, this is not how Daily is run. you don't make random threads, bump 8 year old completely unrelated threads just to do it and don't bump threads that are no longer relevant to make a useless post. Please, either contribute in a controlled manner or don't post anymore. Not trying to be mean but you have to hear it from somewhere.
