It is time, friends
The best one day bike race in the world is here, grueling cobbles, Tom Boonens farewell ride and as the MADMAN reminded us of last year, anything can happen.

Race start to be delayed slightly due to tail winds to prevent problems with railway crossing.
Who will die when the riders enter Arenberg
My pick is GVA
smart move
I hope Terpstra pulls a cheeky one. The butthurt would be immense, because people already hate Terpstra and they will feel that he stole it from tommeke.
Please let it happen.
who /Tommeke/ here?
Rooting for a cheeky Van Baarle podium
>tfw no Gilbert to attack right from the go signal
who have you got your cheeky 5er on?
Naesen here
Boonen
when's start time?
I'd like to see some cheeky shit from Terpstra just for the butthurt if Tommeke doesn't win.
~50 minutes
who /tom boonen/ here?
Looking forward to a comfy afternoon friends. It's been a tiring week for me, so I can really use a day of staying inside, watching the cycling and drinking tea.
Feeling comfy in anticipation already.
Did you know that it's Boonen's last race?
Really? You'd have thought someone would have mentioned that
Matti, of course
Put a fiver on Matthew Hayman. Drinks are on me lads
Tom Boonen sums up Quick Step tactics

Komaan Tommeke
>eurosport airing Boonen special before his last race
Based desu
Cheeky Van Keirsbulck win desu lads
2 quid Degenkolb 6/1
2 quid Stannard top 3 7/2
(shit price but all you could get on betfair exchange)
Remember that time when Boonen could've won his record 5th Paris-Roubaix but was beaten by Mathew Hayman, who had never won a big race before?
currently working on the /cyc/ memeball team that will play in the Sup Forumserbowl tournament next weekend.
updated the roster, trying to get some basic aesthetics in now.
any ammends you'd like to make to the team?
Iemand is ook sporza aan het kijken :D
Also checked!
>eurosport staying on marathon coverage instead of going to the race
madman trips
i died inside that day
>tfw proper non-ad break non-euroshit coverage today with Rolf Sorensen and Jorgen "Sunday in Hell" Leth on commentary
:)
I just want tommeke to win so I don't have to read roger de vlaeminck's butthurt comments in the newspaper every year
Just came back from voting. Now it's time to put my feet on the table and enjoy the best monument of them all
Comfy as fuck now boys
The best backstage pass so far desu
This
Who /comfy/ here???
Heh they even brought that up on Danish tv.
Jorgen Leth doesn't want Boonen to win because he doesn't want him to beat Vlaeminck.
It's a bright lovely day today
right here m8
Seems like less than 100 riders
Kristoff and I got 18/1
>no CRASH
- horse category should be first team or sub spot
- disturbing lack of Cav
- could argue that nairobi can'tana is usually poor goat boy
delet this
I hope Tom doesn't experience equipment problems like during the Tour of Flanders
>Marion Rousse is now a regular on french tv
Life is good lads
>someone using ym shitty OC
i should update it
CRASH is one i thought about
and making Can'tana colombian grandma
> Rolf Sorensen
Rather have ads desu
ROLF ER REN DESU
if he does I want to see the ensuing interview with old man lefevere
Greipel to beat Boonen and Sagan in a sprint
Kek'd
Anyone know the disc brake usage in today's race?
FUCKING COMMERCIALS
it is ON
Why
extremly triggering
Only teams who can't afford rim brake bikes will run discs. Flats will happen and if you have discs getting a neutral wheel is practically impossible. At least Sagan and Boonen have special edition Specialized Roubaixes with rim brakes.
>mfw a cultural enricher drives an assault truck into the peloton
>eurosport with the ski ballet highlights during PR
>tfw you put cobbles in your ride today
>all the casuals complaining about the road conditions
plebs dont know the true glory of riding the cobbles
I don't rate Vannieuwkerke as a co-commentator
Any tips on which memes to invest for Giro and Tour?
>sky
and 2gan
should be sure bets?
only good as talkshow presenter desu
aaaaargh

Crashwijk will surely pay dividends in Giro. I'd also invest in 100th edition memes for the Giro.
I also have it on good authority that Quintana is going to attack at any moment.
>tfw no breakaway
REMINDER , SAGAN is going to crash again :^)
Reminder that Eddie Dunbar is the future GOAT
Why VNK as co-commmentator? José is cute desu
any brits worth watching?
all of team sky
Rowe
Stannard and Rowe in theory, but they've been wank this classics season
>implying sky won't crash out on the cobbles
Stannard was third last year, but sky have been shit on the cobbles this season. They'll go for it hard though.
distinctly un-comfy
>yfw face when Sky signs him and he applies to become UK citizen?
...
Its gonna take a while to stick a breakaway
...
reporting in
Kek
i miss moot
Who /MADMAN/ here?
>Keukeleire 101.00
He was the strongest of everyone in GW. Is he injured or something? Seems way too high..
He rides in service of Hayman
I bet on him last week but he didn't race
Durbridge is also above him in the pecking order
*** boonen, gva
** naesen, sagan, terpstra
* hayman, degenkolb, korsæth, stannard
Kirby the MADMAN.
Imagine putting Sagan a level below Boonen and GVA. Your flag is showing
>Korsæth
But why?
Jesus relax man. It's just a prono for this race.
Démare is going to do it lads
He's been good
>A frenchman in charge of winning in France
20 years in the making
what?
>tfw miss out on a race today because a spare part got lost in the mail
lel, even Chavanel has more of a chance
