Cav' Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I'm a day late with this, but bare with me I was busy.. Thirty years ago, Roger Rosiers (° 26/11/1946) the winner of the first edition, then called the Four Days of the West Coast. And though his name is not the same resonance as his contemporaries Eddy Merckx, Michel Pollentier, Freddy Maertens, Roger De Vlaeminck, Walter Planckaert ... he was a real 'Flandrien.The victory in Paris-Roubaix was the pinnacle of his career, but also to the Three Days of De Panne keeps it nice memories. "I drove the three-day a few times and loved every time a beautiful course. In the beginning of the year, I always had my best condition. Wind, rain or snow ... Waivers were me like a glove," says Rosiers. Still, it was rather by accident that he won the Three Days in 1977. "I remember it well. During the second ride was around Ichtegem an escape. Jan Raas went in pursuit, but when he was just a good start, broke his left pedal and he flew the canal in. At that time I attacked, am touched by the escapees and evenings if I wear the leader's jersey. The next day I was able to keep him happy, "Rosiers remembers vividly. http://www.veloclub-depanne.be/images/art/RogerRosiers.jpgFrom childhood Rosiers was a racing driver.
