    I bet Strava don't cut the Specialized Classics challenge by the 30 odd kilometers though!

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

        Cancellara's victory in E3 Harelbeke. He's still got it.

            Watch this from 2010. Totally awesome.

                The guy has an amazing engine. It's no coincidence that he won now that Trek have a real shock absorbing chassis for him to ride on.

                  Are you talking about his stellar 2010 or the win on Friday? If it's the latter then I'd have thought simply having a solid winter and not crashing since the Olympics has allowed him to regain his form.

                  It is interesting that he changed bikes about 60km from the finish in both the Ronde and Paris-Roubaix in 2010 and I've never heard a convincing explanation of why, other than it was just coincidental bike problems. The conspiracy theory about him having a motor inside the frame is obviously totally ridiculous but it looked pre-planned and certainly if it was a puncture or other mechanical problem it wasn't at all obvious.

                  What is this "shock absorbing chassis" you speak of?

                        How does that not affect performance? If the frame (in this case the seatpost) is soaking up shocks, I can't see how it has no impact on power transfer, just like any other shock absorption system.

                          I watched the round-up of Gent-Wevelgem last night. What a great attack from Sagan, a really imaginative change of tactic.

                          F*** Villa, I know what I'll be watching on Sunday - not-so-stupid Flanders.

                            This stage of the 3 Days of De Panne is good fun. 8km to go.

                            Sagan looking good. Chavanel, Gatto and maybe Cavendish can challenge though.

                              Sagan wins in a photo finish. He went a bit off line and held up Demare so it's possible the result could be changed.
