Interesting fact about the Forest of Arenberg:

 

The green grass and moss that grows between each cobblestone is burnt away before the race

 

Cool fact, thanks 'Dale!

I was wondering about the grass when I was looking at the recon photos, couldn't remember it looking like that on race day.

I also think a less prominent rider could well take it. EBH has what it takes to win in a small group sprint and he has a low enough profile to slip through into a break with less attention than a Tommeke, Sagan and GVA. If I were a betting man I would put a couple of bucks on him...

EBH @ Paris Roubaix

 

watched ALL of cosmo's PR vids last night. EBH was in the mix almost every time.

The mark of a champion... when 2nd place is disappointing, but you're happy for the winner.

I've seen a lot of this from Boonen on the last 3-4 years.

He seems like a genuinely good guy.

I think the Flash and Quicksilver may need to lend a hand! :whistling:

 

Love the sense of humour in it!

Another interesting fact is that despite what Paul Sherwin says EVERY PR when the riders enter Arenberg, Jean Stablinski actually NEVER raced on the cobble sector through the Forest of Arenberg. He introduced it to the race director and as a result his statue is erected near the sector.

It's a pity the Spring Classic thread has become a love in for Peter Sagan.

 

13 photos/videos in past 3 pages. Come on guys, there are 200 pros racing the race on Sunday.

 

ABS on Sunday for me. And that used to be reserved for exclusively for Sky.
