And when I looked yesterday there was a 60% chance of rain in Paris and Roubaix. I can’t wait.

Anybody knows if there is a way to watch it on the internet? It’s not on TV here, and it’s one of the most awesome race.

Looks like Sporza is showing it for free : http://www.sporza.be/cm/lmc/wielrennen/voorjaar/Comp_Parijs_Roubaix

(could be some regional restrictions coming though)

Huge. Simply a huge weekend in racing. With no Formula 1 race because of the Easter holiday Paris Roubaix is the focal point of fans of many types of racing. Is NASCAR off this weekend?

I haven’t seen a weather forecast but the trend in the classic has been the traditional cool and fair. It’s been a while since we’ve had a classic, testing mud bog.

I’m excited about the Cervelo men, of course. They have been on a tear in the classics. This is their strength- the big one-days. We’ll see how it plays out. I wonder what media we can catch this on this weekend?

“Is NASCAR off this weekend?”

Love you man, but that statement is about as germane to Paris-Roubaix discussion as someone in Augusta yesterday saying, “This is a beautiful day, but I wonder if World Field Hockey League is playing today?”

Thanks, it looks promising. More this week end !

Yay! Paris-Roubaix. Yay!

Weather for Roubaix (http://fr.weather.com/weather/10day-Roubaix-FRXX0084) is clear sky Friday and Saturday, so no big waterlog, and drizzle Sunday morning.

Eurosport is showing over 3 hours of live coverage on Sunday. I can’t believe you don’t have a subsription, Mr D!

One thing to look out for, Hammond is supposed to have been testing an S2 made specifically for Sunday’s race which could morph out as a 'cross type frame later.
