Flemish Lion Posted April 16, 2009 Share What arace. Dit you see that stupid girl running in front of Boonen near the end on one of the last cobble sections? The spectators were going banannas when they saw Tom in the front. I saw some guy hitting Hausller on the head with some object' date=' he looked back and was clearly very angry. Plus they were throwing beer in Potzato's face as he was trying to catch Boonen. Not nice [/quote'] When Boonen raced his first Paris Roubaix he was spat upon and cladded with beer by Belgians too while he was chasing Johan Museeuw! He said he still hadn't recovered from that!! Besides the crowd hadn't forgotten Pozzato's passive racing in RVV when he was shadowing Tom the whole race... Not nice I know, some spectators seem more interested in getting drunk then seeing the race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pirate Posted April 16, 2009 Share Nice pics! I see quite a few spectators were hurt with that motorcycle incident along the way ........... Yeah' date=' I heard there were more than 10 people injured, it looked like a freak accident with the bike at the back of the break-away ...[/quote'] Ten people were hurt, three of them seriously, on Sunday, when a motorbike crashed into fans lining the route of the classic Paris-Roubaix cycling race in northern France, emergency services said. "A motorbike from the race organisation struck the crowd," a spokesman for Lille emergency services revealed, saying he had no further details on the extent of the injuries. Two rescue helicopters and a dozen fire engines were at the scene, he added. The accident happened around 3:45 pm (1345 GMT) near the northern town of Orchies.

No, the West Rand - imagine if this race was held in the East Rand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the West Rand - imagine if this race was held in the East Rand You may have a point... If it was held on the east, OB's winning margin would have been so great, he'd have been drunk by the time boonen finished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
