lightandlongshadows said:I wish I could find a youtube clip of Edwig van Hooydonk at the 1989 ( I believe ) Tour of Flanders. He looked like he was on a motorbike compared to the other riders, if I'm remembering correctly.
rikdewy said:Well the main reason is that the worlds were ran over a hilly course with a decent climb in it, wheras roubaix is basically flat and flanders only has sharp pinches. If Evans was to carry an extra kilo at his body weight he may as well have been wearing clown shoes and parachute pants!
