Cancellara attacks Boonen on Muur to win 2010 Tour Of Flanders

spartacus motors ahead on Muur van Geraardsbergen to win 2010 ronde van vlaanderen.

As likely as QAnon

[@2011hwalker]

One of the *clearest* cases of motor doping of all time. 0:33 Cancellara hips and shoulders rocking significantly on the lower gradients of the first part of the climb 2:38 *remarkably* his cadence gets smoother and faster on the brutal section of the climb. Ever been passed by e bikes on steep hills? Thats exactly what it looks like. A smooth seated cadence with no rise in perceived effort versus the flat. It doesnt pass the eyeball test, it doesnt make sense physiologically and its basically borderline impossible. What an epic cheater!

[@papalegba6796]

Watch his right hand just after 2:35 he switches the motor on I reckon. Froome does something similar on his impossible Ventoux attack.

[@2011hwalker]

@@papalegba6796 Yes, definitely at the same time the pedals start 'whirring'

[@grzejnikMilosz]

This actually should be put to a scientific investigation. Physicists should calculate how much (more) power you need to output to build so much advantage in a couple seconds on a steep more than 10% (average I believe it was more than 10% at this very moment). Someone who cycle anything in his life and when put this into one's head knows exactly that this situation is just iconically ridiculous.

[@DanielSong39]

It's like the Froome acceleration up the Ventoux in 2013. A 1000+ watt surge within a couple seconds that takes place without visible effort from the rider.

[@skinny55772]

They should compare his time in the video to the Strava segment for it. If it's the same for some random strong guy doing 600 watts then it's probably legit.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Just estimates out of my butt after using Zwift for so long: Boonen was probably putting out a solid 600 watts at that moment and when seeing Cancellara motor away raised that to 700-800 watts. Cancellara's distancing would make the output well over 1400 watts. That's the kind of power unleashed in a sprint, which Cancellara had no pedigree for, plus he doesn't even show strained signs of that kind of power being made.

[@DanielSong39]

[@fhensen]

Yes he was

[@tomvermeulen8003]

I used to give cancellara the benefit of the doubt. But after discovering the very very sneaky second bike change I think its very unlikely he didnt do mechanical doping. Cancellara had a mechanical issue and did a first bike chance. The main mechanic jumps out of the car and gives him a new bike. A few km's later Breschel has a real issue and requests a new bike, but the main mechanic isnt in the car anymore resulting in Breschel getting the wrong bike, losing a lot of time and never returning to the front. A few km further the images show Cancellara suddenly sitting on his original bike. What happened, at the point where cancellara did his first bike change, the stage makes a loop. The mechanic had to walk 500 meter to get on the other part of the stage. What does amateur footage reveal. In a turn everybody where makes the short turn, Cancellara goes wide where the main mechanic is waiting with the original bike and you see Cancellara do a lightning bike swap. Its a sad thing but after all these years i am convinced Cancellara cheated.

[@HolgerDanske874]

I don't understand. Why wasn't any of this caught by cameras in a race like this?

[@mkballer4502]

literally just look at his power numbers he has done those many times and the time up was good but not even super impressive. It just looked that fast because boonen was cooked and used a wrong gearing.

Cancellara is a man with a LOT of power in his legs... this set of events in Cancellara luck and favor makes him look extraordinarily amazing.. almost unreal... so good that people has to resort to motor doping as conclusion... but there is no motor.. this was just bad luck for Boonen with the line he chose and Cancellara doing what Cancellara does best. Here watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHi4ZJ-Pr9dni6M

[@warrenvazquez]

it's incredible - he is one of the elite and he is suffering at the hands of cancellara. most of us would have climbed off the bike miles before

[@Tonytestcase]

Did Boonen change his gear a couple of times? There are moments when his pedal speed is lower, before the gap is growing.

[@DanielSong39]

Only way I get up that hill is by climbing off the bike

[@DanielSong39]

Did Cancellara just put 30 seconds on Boonen in under a minute?

[@charlesjohnson9249]

Something like that. And it can happen, I remember Froome loosing around 30-35 seconds on a climbing stage at the TdF 2017, on the last 150 meters!

@@dansprague2 Cancellara used a motor. It's obvious. Sadly he got away with it.

[@toozydude2]

Putting 30s on someone in 1min requires the front person to go 1/3 faster than the other. If you go twice as fast as them, then u gain more than 1min gap in 1min.

[@TheSteinbitt]

Frank M Boonen was on the limit going into the climb, Cancellara waited for the steep and put the hammer down. It happens almost any year in the RVV, this year Bettiol did it to GvA and the rest of the favorites. Not really unbelievable, just racing. The fact that he never got out of the saddle is his style, and to avoid slipping on the steep cobbles while putting out 1000+W.

[@trinerd]

That was bullshit. That gap was like 12 seconds after 20 seconds of racing. Boonen never cracked. Yeah, super suspicious.

[@bernardhinault9377]

You can see boonen actually runs into the wall with his front tire, right as the commmentator says Aww, that is what makes the gap so staggering.

[@Whalturk]

P T - Yea, but I sincerely doubt that you are able to push as many watts as Fabian Cancellara was 8 years ago. So maybe what you look like going uphill on an ebike, is how Cancellara looked when he was going full gas up the Kapelmuur ;)

[@pato20995]

Whalturk what I mean to say is, you don't have to put any power in your pedalling. You can clearly see that Cancellara is not putting any effort in his "effort"

[@JumpingWatermelons]

I will always remember this attack, because afterword, Tom Boonen said (paraphrasing): "I didn't have any problem there. I was riding well. When he attacked near the top, I was doing 900 watts, but he was still riding away. " (It turns out, Cancellara had a max power that day of 1450, probably during that attack)

Well..as a belgian who has followed pro cycling for 50 years now...I had never seen this kind of "acceleration" ..twice in a matter of 7 days...2010..both times Cancellara...1 in RVV...1 in Roubaix....What bothers me the most in RVV are his numerous bike changes...clearly they were planned and the exchanges were done to perfection. I have seen a ton of RVV and Roubaix.....and I can tell you that in these classics in full "finale" bike changes ONLY take place if something breaks on the original bike. Even pro's will tell ya....In Roubaix...well..yes..the group was looking at each other ..true..so if you reference his speed to those 3 or 4 riders it seems like he's flying...but I do not reference it at those 3-4...I just observe the sudden ( I mean like lightning quick) enormous increase in cadence ..even as he"s looking backward and the Boonen group not exactly going slow ( one long queue). Within seconds of what should be a huge effort he looks back and keeps it all looking just a little bit too smooth for me. BTW..companies have been experimenting with electrical "in frame" motors for years..one canadian company even has their setup with SRAM..lol......oops...coincidence or not. Am I against Cancellara ?...far from..I consider him half a flandrien and a beast indeed. But these 2 moments were "super human" or at least to this day that is how I remember them....because they seemed truly effortless. And I have seen hundreds of "demarrages" by equally talented one-day-classic riders in these 2 classics.....in all those I WITNESSED GREAT PHYSICAL EFFORT with a totally different body language.

Around 2.37, you can see Cancerella's doing something... right before he takes off. Funny how on the bits of the slope where EVERYONE else has to stand up in the saddle, Cancerella remains comfortably seated.

[@gempidge]

MERE CONJECTURE: That he uses an electric motor. FACT: You find many videos in which he makes strange hand movements right before he attacks FACT: You can find many videos where he is doing an attack on steep climbs, and he is the only one who doesn't rise out of the saddle. FACT: There is no actual proof Cancerella has broken the rules. FACT: Swiss people are awesome, Switzerland is awesome.

[@gempidge]

Tamhas B although it is rather hard to believe that such a tiny battery could do any good for more than about 5 seconds. Probably more likely that Cancerella is just a god on two wheels now that i think about it. If there was battery that good in existence, why hasn't Apple put one in my iPhone?

[@tobi-sui6133]

haha you are joking... but believe me i hate nothing more than cheaters in cycling. An if cancellara would cheat I can't believe they would have found it out. And he didn't win all the other classic races so there might be some races who perfectly fit to him. His legs might have more power, so he doesn't have to rise out of the saddle. But I'm not an expert... Are you from belgium?

[@szalaydaniel8631]

+Tamhas B A few notes: He is just switching gears before the attack. Rising out of the saddle means a higher heart rate = faster lactate buildup. In this video Boonen is struggling already at the bottom of the hill; he gets out of the saddle a lot, which happens often when somebody cannot keep up. Cancellara looks fresh from the beginning of the hill, holds a high cadence consistently and powers through. Just take a look at the cadence difference from 2:23. My opinion: Spartacus is a beast.

[@thesoultwins72]

Firstly, I am a great fan of Fabian Cancellara and think he was an exceptionally gifted and strong rider. But I have to admit that his performances during 2010 do cause questions to be asked. The featured extract of Cancellara attacking Tom Boonen [who is no slouch and an extremely strong rider himself] on the brutal climb of Muur van Geraardsbergen in the Tour of Flanders is simply staggering! And in the 2010 edition of the Paris-Roubaix [which had been raced a few weeks earlier] Cancellara had casually 'rode away' from a group of top quality riders 50k from the finish line to secure a solo victory. This was no second-string bunch made up of domestiques and also-rans. It included the likes of Sylvain Chavanel, Stuart O'Grady, Filippo Pozzato and again, Tom Boonen - all highly capable and experienced pros. According to Boonen himself, after recovering from the initial shock of Cancellara's audacious attack, the group started to work together and were travelling at 55kph. Even so, Cancellara was still going away from them! [by the end of the race he had put 4 minutes into his competitors!] To distance a chasing group of top guys all working together like that takes a remarkable effort. And the ease at which Cancellara did this does beggar belief.

[@laurentwarnon441]

Boonen was top and fit that year. He beat his own record on this climb and looks like a child compared to the motorman... So how can the swiss cheater drop so easily a top tom boonen who climbed faster than the other years...

This was either a MASSIVE attack the world never have seen before, or one of the biggest cheating scandales in modern cycling. I want to belive that the first sentence is the case, but like spabcn also mentioned, everytime I watch this attack i cant get away from thinking ....mmmmmm....

[@doggdemuro]

Rev up your engines!

[@VitalMusic217]

LMAO that made me laugh man

[@Carmelo-vr5rg]

Motor dope bike used by cancellara just analyse the rpm and speed.

[@klompjes002]

Hij deed dezelfde beweging als het vrouwtje in de cross. Dus tom wint deze koers.

[@alexsarpele6477]

Big cheater Cancellara 👎👎👎👎👎electric bike asist

[@DanielSong39]

No matter how good you are, if you put in a sudden acceleration on a steep upslope on the cobbles, the bike will sway. I have no idea how Cancellara violated basic laws of physics here.

[@DolleHengst]

Cancellara weighed 90kg. On a steep climb, with a seated rider, most of that weight will rest on the rear axle, giving the rear wheel extra traction. And a higher cadence gives a rider more control over the bike.

[@Bayo106]

you obviously know nothing about cycling.

[@livingbymottos]

Absolutely motoring through to 1st place

[@jordimaxwell]

He was speculated to have illegal support in his pedalling. Its so steep and yet he just sat on his saddle like nothing happened and then he looked down to his bike at the top of the climb.

[@Trekki61]

i very hope that the uci will the muur take to the race it belongs back. here's a german friend of the muur, theres no ronde without it...

[@jaimecorvus6373]

2:37, mouvement suspect de la main droite de Cancellara, et l"attaque" (!) suit. unbelievebal !

[@javierlucogonzalez9106]

Its look like very fake accélération of Cancellara

[@rubenheindryckx7820]

It is mechanical doping

[@mercurex72]

Electric bike !

[@TurboDally]

So in 60 seconds (give or take a few seconds) the guy pulled away around 250 meters, he's moving 4 meters PER SECOND FASTER than the other guy- in other words a good 9mph quicke- that's quite a big difference in speed.

[@felicienbourdin840]

TurboDally think twice about it ... if I have an advance of lets say 50meters at the end of the hill, during the time my opponent runs at low speed completing the hill, I go way faster than him on the flat/descent portion and when he reaches the top I could have 250meters of advance ! so do again your calculation takin this into account

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

It depends on the form of the riders. In another commentary, Cancellara was climbing just a tiny bit faster than the record holder on the hill, Naesen, who was not a star rider overall. So, if he were on the road that day, Cancellara would have had but a small margin on him. Perhaps Boonen was not at his best. There are so many considerations - who knows? But Cancellara had such immense power, this could have been the greatest week of his career.

[@BigPowerAL]

motors go vroom! That's a massive gap!!!!!!!!!!

[@simonbrunel6872]

Cancellara = cheat. 2:34 : bike motor in action.

[@damexipino]

Prove it

[@Angel-gn2on]

Bitter. Those people train hard to master their craft talk cheap

[@StewartJsR]

+Jaime Lagdameo Can you prove he's not on performing enhancing drugs there?

[@DanielSong39]

At about the 1:30 mark you can clearly see that Cancellara is putting in much more effort to get up a lower slope at a lower speed. Just a minute later, the bike seems to accelerate up a 19% gradient with no visible signs of greater exertion.

[@parkerhunt7826]

Your making the claim he is on PEDs so the burden is on you to prove he is.

[@Alberto-yz3dw]

Mechanical doping definitely,

[@chrisvillanueva4125]

how did he do that? unbelievable

[@kennoudamostafa6277]

C'est une honte regarder bien la main droite de cancellara il appuie sur un bouton !¡!!!!!

[@m.a.trophy9278]

ENGINE!! So bad for the sport.

[@1101grayzer]

It's very clear what he does at 2:37. The gradient gets steeper, Boonen starts to feel it, Cancellara changes down a gear, his cadence increases and he doesn't need to get out of the saddle.

[@TheSteinbitt]

Sean Gray cadence tend to increase when you shift down...

[@MrBerndwiekema]

Sean Gray you’re probably right. Cancellara was the strongest rider at that time. Not fair to accuse him of technical fraude.

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

At the vert moment Sean Kelly says that attacking sitting in the saddle is the best way to attack the climb too...

[@ChuckD59]

I've stepped through that part a couple times and I agree (but I do think there are better examples of pros and electric assist). Right through the 2:37 mark, if you go frame by frame, it's clear their cadences had been matched but C drops his right shoulder a bit and his cadence increases, just as would happen if one were to downshift. He's off the hook in my book, and a veritable monster.

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

a shame for switzerland

[@santosleandro1955]

Right hand at 2:37...nun said!

[@Juan0003]

2:43 Bonnen does the same. What nun?

[@ahhhhhhhDestroyed]

Ever riden a bike? he changed gear.

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

Literally the moment Sean Kelly says the best way to attack the climb is sitting in the saddle and Cancellara does just that...

[@スティーブンマイク]

カンチェのアタック凄すぎ😊 ボーネンの名勝負数え歌ww

[@MrMarolles]

He made that gap in seconds, whilst Boonen was still going pretty quickly, not possible with out a motor.

[@reneflippe3286]

Can you prove ? If not sh1t up !

[@musiccorner6377]

whahhaha whot a idiots in this world , you boonen struggled meter by meter in the and to get ont top

[@tonyfranklin8306]

It's so obvious it's down right disgusting

[@tristanomoresi2014]

Cancellara with E-Bike

[@felice994]

Neanche la telecamera riesce a stargli dietro...

[@agustinspagnol2976]

W4uu 8días y vos kris r7474 47474u4ow

[@chrisdeluca6577]

He turned up gas alright
