I've got the next couple of weeks off, travelling to WA for a holiday.MichaelB wrote:Amen to that !!!fat and old wrote:Sweet. Easter w/e off, big screen, looking forward to it!
I've just realised that I will be in Margaret River on the weekend of April 7/8, and the Paris-Roubaix will be televised a couple of hours earlier in WA than on the East Coast.
Woo Hoo!

It was good enough that Keenan’s keening whine didn’t ruin it for me; I could only get SBS down here. Gotta feel for Sagan at times, McEwan was spot on observing that if the group chased Terpstra the way they chased Sagan to race for 3rd they may well have caught him. I think Benoot felt the same way. GVA seems to have accepted Quickstep’s dominance and given up.
And Van Aert continues to impress in a big way.

Sadly, I may get to see it from the lounge after our scheduled Vietnam trip will be cancelled as the wife is too crook to travel. She'll be OK, but just really floored badly by a virus

darn straight - not just winning but 3 more riders in the chase group.MichaelB wrote:Quickstep are just monstering the classics season so far !!
I find it amusing to hear Sagan & his DS whining about how other teams won’t ride to suit him & make up for the lack of support from his team

Tom Boonen: Peter Sagan needs to 'keep his mouth shut' over lack of cooperation from rivals. Sure Boonen is not exactly neutral, being close to the Quickstep team, but he agrees with me so he must be right!find_bruce wrote:I find it amusing to hear Sagan & his DS whining about how other teams won’t ride to suit him & make up for the lack of support from his team

P-R will be interesting on Sunday. Team numbers wont be as important. The man with the best legs will win. I'm not saying that's Sagan. But it will make it harder for Quickstep to dominate on the pave.

What are you implying? Terpstra has always been a great rider.biker jk wrote:Terpstra just lost the fat according to his doctor. Where have I heard that argument before? Perhaps Quickstep should stick to the strength in numbers narrative for their success in the classics.

I thought they had done better in the classics since they stopped wasting their money on Cavendish.RonK wrote:I find it amusing how successful Quickstep have been since Boonen retired.

Agree with you on that - numbers have usually been whittled down to a select group by the last 100 k. Part of what makes the race so interesting is that it is unpredictable. No-one should write off Sagan, GVA or any of the other 10 or so riders that have a good shot, depending on how things go & who has the best legs on the day.Derny Driver wrote:P-R will be interesting on Sunday.

While Sagan was a very worthy winner I thought Dillier's was the ride of the day.find_bruce wrote: I was impressed Dillier
Very sad news about Michael Goolaerts.

Well done for Sagan and Dillier - in the break all day and 2nd !! Shades of the ride at Flanders by Pedersen.
Looked like some nasty crashes -
Updates on Trentin ?
Will have to wait another year for a wet Roubaix
