Phinney won the jr Roubaix twice? but is he up to it this year due to coming back from his injuries? not sure. He was already named for the squad before GVA broke his collarbone but it woukd be a major ask for him to win. Knowing BMC, they will have Richie Port head the squad.With Greg VA out, I am curious who BMC will work for. I am hoping Phinney gets a shot at it.
Yeah at one point during Paris-Roubaix just now one of the analysts was waxing poetic about one of the riders on screen hammering on the pave on 30'sIs it just me.... Or are the riders sporting the widest tires.....ever, at the classics this year. They look to be 30-32c. Quite a change from even a few years ago. Can't say I blame them.

Great last 100k....Great last 5 k with everyone trying to fly off the front. One of the reasons I like the classics better than stage races.
Here's the latest from the "oh for fooks sake, seriously?" front.
I'm done with pro cycling. In it now for the helicopter shots of castles.

This wasn't the one I was thinking of but they bring some question to the methodologies for detectionLinky to debunking? I've enjoyed the calf-gate developments.
And, yeah, been sneaking some Giro lately. Yesterday was pretty amazing. Sucks to be Moser, but holy crap what a finish. Another argument against radios - apparently Moser's earpiece had fallen out, so he had no idea what kind of bollicking was racing up behind him? Polemica!
(I bet he took it out on purpose - JV would have screwed that up much earlier)
