2014 Paris-Roubaix, 257 Km's, Sunday April 13th (1.UWT)

My money is on Bradley Wiggins lol : popcorn :

 

[maltiv]

I dreamt that Wiggins won ahead of Geraint Thomas after a 120 kilometer duo-breakaway...

Hopefully the dream won't come true, then the CN.forums will explode and be down for a month or so

Very nice TOS.

In about 5kms the front group will hit the first cobbles:

28 Troisvilles 97,5 / 159,5 2200 m ***
27 Viesly 104,0 / 153,0 1800 m ***
26 Quiévy -Python 106,5 / 150,5 3700 m ****
25 Saint-Python 111,0 / 146,0 1500 m **

The favorites teams are currently sharing the load in the peloton.

The RAI guys are saying the wind is insidious today at the finish, but no rain likely.

 

[Lexman]

I live at about 30 km's west from Compiègne, it's not warm at all, getting cloudier and cloudier... not that much wind

but then the riders drive north ...

Cance's bike a thing of beauty, see CN ticker for link. Seems to be 42/54 on the front with 11/21 cassette.

 

[Jeriko]

Anybody else with Eurosport Player getting absolutely nada?

 

[manafana]

great to see lemond doing more tv work, he really deserves some breaks for the hard years he endured out of cycling, him and hinault are pretty much legends for me.

Flecha english is pretty good too and good man to have for the candidates

 

[Flamin]

Can't watch the race now, but i will watch the last 60k or so in the evening. So please keep me up-to-date till then guys

Hope the bike last the distance

That mechanic deserves a bonus for something.

Yup, it's not playing at all unfortunately. Driving me mad. Pay money to watch to the Classics on Eurosport, and then it gets to the one I'm looking forward to more than others and it ****s the bed. Grumble.

And now it has let me login & the video player is working. So that's a relief, I can stop grumbling.

just to expand a little more on Keats/Cancellara

What? Dayer Quintana is in the race?!

And I thought Tinkoff-Saxo having Jesper Hansen in the roster was crazy...

Dayer is nothing like his brother though.

Reports of oil spill from a car in Arenberg - prospect of carnage?

 

[Netserk]

There has been an oil spill on the Arenberg pave *yikes*

Oil in the Arenberg sector. Well done

 

[RedheadDane]

Let's hope they solve the oil problem before the riders get there.

 

[Netserk]

They are trying to cover it with sand, so let's hope it won't be completely madness...
