Not sure I will change my plans to watch, I am not a big fan of the race but I will be hoping for a win by Fletcha or maybe Chavanel. Although Boonen in his present form is going to be tough to beat.

 

I doubt Van Summeren will be given the space again like last year and I will be very surprised if he isnt asked to work for Farrar.

 

The only other possibility I can think of right now is Stijn Devolder.

 

 

@ Super Mario,

 

Hey, I dedicated a picture of Cippolini to you on the "I have an Idea for a new thread...." a few pages back... :thumbup:

 

Thanx a mil Puncheur. After some searching I found it. Have you been to the Cippo website and checked out the video 'The Whole Truth' .The man is a machine.

Paris-Roubaix bikes and how they've evolved.

 

So my mates can stop making jokes about the 'zertz' on my bike ;)

 

"That first-generation Roubaix was the target of much public ridicule for its so-called Zertz elastomeric in the seat stays and fork blades but the fact of the matter was that the technology was well proven and the bike's ride quality was indisputable – it was very smooth. Subsequent iterations grew increasing more performance oriented with bigger front triangles, stiffer chain stays, lighter weights, and Zertz that grew even bigger and more prominent – and presumably more effective.

Fewer people are laughing now."
