Oh dear, it’s gonna be a wet one!
I think Spartacus might be glad he’s watching this one at home?!
The Quick-Step express keeps rollin’ on!
Big Tom takes Flanders today. Pippo’s disappointment at failing to attack more vigorously on the Paterberg is pretty obvious. There was a couple of seconds where he had Boonen in a spot of bother and should have made an almighty dig. Even if you don’t eventually win, it’s far better to try?!
Broken collarbones for Cancellara and Langeveld, OUCH!
Attendance record for Big George.
Batten down the hatches.
The hour of battle is nearly upon us!!!
Big Tom’s on a roll!
Gent-Wevelgem played out on another beautiful day of sunshine. Thankfully Manchester is being blessed with the same lovely weather at the moment!
Frantic racing on another glorious day in Belgium!
Big Tom takes the win at E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke. A bad day at the office for Spartacus.
Terpstra takes a flyer! A beautiful solo victory on a beautiful day in Belgium.
I managed to watch the last 30km’s of Dwars Door Vlaanderen in between jobs at work this afternoon. Thankyou SteephillTV!
My gift from the caretakers of hell!
Les Amis de Paris–Roubaix the “friends” of the race is an enthusiasts’ group founded by Jean-Claude Vallaeys in 1983. It is based in France but open to members all over the world. Its aim was to find enough stretches of cobbled road to preserve the nature of the race. So many roads had been resurfaced that, as the organiser said, there was a risk that it would become a fast race on smooth roads won by sprinters rather than those who had fought through hell. Alain Bernard, who succeeded Vallaeys, says: “We have succeeded in that. Today, the association looks after the maintenance of these paths of legend, working with local administrations to preserve them.
A small donation for now, hopefully I’ll get to go over and help out in person one day?!
The Classics are coming!!!
Mons-en-Pévèle cobbles being primed for battle. Can’t wait.
