Gen Posted February 18, 2017 Share The hilly Amstel Gold Classic flattened its final kilometers by eliminating its last trip up the vaunted Cauberg, and Paris-Roubaix has added an uphill cobblestone sector (gasp), Solesmes, to its pan-flat parcours.Roubaix is going to be crazy.. don't know if I like the change to Amstel though[emoji53] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted February 20, 2017 Share Was this the last muddy Roubaix?  Donno Dale, maybe ... it's certainly mayhem when them stones get wet & muddy. Caught up with the 1988 edition late last night, that was a dusty one. 'Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fab led a go-slow thereafter In that first vid I posted (in the days before image stabilisation on hand cams) there was a front heli shot of the cobbles with the TV bike, I was amazed to see how that front suspension was working overtime.

Cav' Posted February 20, 2017 Share I see Sagan is busier promoting his sponsors on social media than getting quality race time.  We might not see the season we're expecting from him. (my opinion obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Posted February 20, 2017 Share I see Sagan is busier promoting his sponsors on social media than getting quality race time.  We might not see the season we're expecting from him. (my opinion obviously)1.. would be very hard to repeat last year's success 2.. it's similar prep schedule to the start of last year.. except he did tour San something where this year he did tour down under....also only the one race before the classics started.
