Fabian Cancellara attack on Paris Roubaix 2010

@MrBlazer512 It is not "Boonen we have a problem" but "Balen (Boonen's home town) we have a problem," after the Apollo 13 movie phrase, reporting the explosion of an oxygen tank, "Houston, we have a problem" (in fact "Houston, we've had a problem"). I guess the use of this phrase suggests that Cancellara has been shot of into space.

[@philadams9254]

Which pixel is the motor?

[@NeoPayneHK]

1:02 we have a problem

[@justinbouchard]

He was literally accelerating while not pedaling. Watch closely. It also seems clear that he does something with his right hand while not pedaling. Then as soon as he begins to pedal he literaly gained 10kph easily with 2 pedal strokes sitting down. This is not possible. I will die on the hill of Cancellara used a motor. Probably not always but on his wins for the classics he 100% used a motor.

100%, absolutely no doubt about it: MOTOR.

[@sebastian7112]

0:50, that has to be one of the weirdest accelerations ever.

[@stenovitz]

Not that weird, if you reckon his sprints almost were in near saddle position as well as his hill punches just as the roulleur Cance is (was). Moreover there's a bit of stagnation/reluctance in the escape group, so Cance utilizes his 'swing' to bridge.

Though I'm Danish and primarily do in Danish, German and English (and a bit French and Italian) I have no problems understanding 75% of he Flemish commentators from Sporza. I think it's due to their passion ;-D BTW: Is this a re-uploaded`version? This has far too few views, think the 256,5K views must've been mine during the past ten years. Pure gold.

[@VitalMusic217]

Cancellara best swish MotoGP rider ever.

[@KoMDraegast]

The flemish commentators sure are the best at bringing amazing commentary compared to the dude that commentated this on eurosport.

[@TimpBizkit]

@itech8000 yeah Cancellara's sprint 48 seconds in was amazing lol, especially on a bicycle weighing 300lbs, a bulky white helmet and thick leathers instead of aerodynamic clothing!!

[@Scribblescrabbly]

Years later, I still think Cancellara's acceleration was unnatural.

[@the_joe_reynolds_foundation]

extremely unnatural. it looks like he's trying to spin his legs faster to keep up with a motor. (of course, IF there was a motor.) but can anyone come up with other race footage that looks as strange as this? in all my years of riding, racing, and watching racing, i've never seen anything that looks like this. i'm not saying it's impossible that he did this all on his own (i'm still a fan of his), but it definitely looks weird, and i'd be 100% happy to eat my words if i could see other attacks that look this strange.

[@Scribblescrabbly]

dovoso nah you just don’t accelerate like that...

[@saxy1player]

@@the_joe_reynolds_foundation He's sprinting, that's why he's spinning fast ...

[@justinbouchard]

He was accelerating while not pedaling. Then in two pedal strokes he gained 10 kph easily while sitting down. 100% used a motor for all of his classic wins. I would die on this hill.

[@DanielSong39]

@@justinbouchard Definitely for Paris Roubaix and Tour of Flanders in 2010 2016 Olympics would be #3 on his list

[@knotwilg3596]

This acceleration by Cancellara and the one on the "Muur" the same year, were both striking examples of an unnatural acceleration without any noticeable change in pedaling, or switching to bigger gear and associated body motion. On both occasions, you could think something miraculous has happened and Cancellara is one of the greatest classical riders of all time, or you could be suspicious about it. I have made my choice.

[@DanielSong39]

1 minute before the acceleration on Muur, Cancellara made a bigger effort to stay on the wheel of Boonen on a shallower gradient

When the break started (at 0.44 sec), Cancellera just rode around the group or 4 like they were on a Sunday cruise, ha. What power he has! There is nobody that can even imagine that they can match his speed when he decides to take off.

[@TimpBizkit]

Cancellara's like 'Aah I'm getting bored. Come on you bunch of grannies!'

[@davida7153]

Funny thing is that Cancellara and the other 4 were already standing up pushing to create a gap and when they sit it is the moment when Cancellara suddenly changed the pacing and accelerated drastically. It makes no sense.

[@outdoorvertical]

Extra terrestrial Luigi!

[@4heartbrigader]

not exactly taking a flyer but taking advantage of a bit of a lull i think,but eective in making the gap all the same.

Cancellara

[@dreminem1989]

[@barrymiller3385]

We will never know the truth of this. But, to me, it does not look like a natural (unassisted) acceleration. He gains a huge advantage seemingly without a huge effort.

[@StudioBhobho]

Because other riders backed off and he continued, Fabian was a time trial specialist and could accelerate sitting down

[@noname-oe5ks]

Those racers he went and passed were not racing. They were looking around for someone else to cover Cancellara's attack. Nothing special from Cancellara that we haven't seen countless times.

[@parallelsuns1]

Van Der Poel and Van Aert were clearly using prototype moto CX bikes in some races, Cancellelara with a highly dubious bike on some of his wins also. Its looks so obvious

[@fadoyung734]

Mechanic dope.. So clear now

[@rehy]

omg, there is nothing unnatural about his attack...it is the basic cycling tactics to attack right after the attack of another riders. It looks like he is going so much faster only because other riders stopped pedalling, there was definitely no unnatural acceleration. And the moment he got rid of Leukemans was most importantly caused by the motorbike driver, who kind of helped Cancellara by giving him the draft after the corner.

[@123huskieman]

rehy They all stay at the same cadence (including Cancellara). Same overall cadence = correlating constant speed. There is a motor there, otherwise Cancellara's cadence probably would've changed in some way during his attack. And draft doesn't help as much as you're saying it does in Cancellara's case. Everything about the move is so unnatural. You need to actually watch the video.

[@danfuerthgillis4483]

@@samd708It's called retiring after UCI brought in full bike inspections including the spares on top of the support vehicles. This guy ran like a rat once the inspections came in, there is an even more important video where this cheater on a TT came in behind Wiggins ( who was doped on that TT) and flew by him like a rocket. There is nothing anyone can say about that pass it was clearly a motor on that TT bike. If you see the video and watch how fast he passes Wiggins doing a 400 watt TT there is no hiding it he was simply using a motor. The Cadence and gears did not change on both riders so why was he going 10km hr faster ( at least by the speed pass on that video) Fabian probably hit 65 km hr passing Wiggins that is simply IDIOTIC and Impossible on that Flat stage TT with no wind to help.
