Velominati Super Prestige: Paris-Roubaix 2015

The V rides with the Pros

No one can be happy about Sunday’s weather forecast (except for 95% of the riders and support staff). I am not. Now every Norwegian non-cobble riding specialists has a chance of winning this. I was hoping for day that would separate the Rule #9 riders from everybody else. Bah!

We can take some comfort in knowing our Keepers Tour brothers will be at three different cobbled secteurs, hydrating and yelling with the the locals. Keep an eye out for the V-flag.

There is not much to say about Paris-Roubaix that has not been said. It is the race of the season.

Consult your god. Go with your heart or your head on this. Enter your choices, prepare your frites deep-fryer, the beer selection, assure your family that drinking and swearing on a Sunday morning is part of your religion.

The VSP page has the details and in case anyone forgot, the end of the season could get you here:

First place– A custom Jaegher frame, handbuilt in Belgium.
Second Place– A Café Roubaix/Velominati wheelset, Chris King hubs, hand built by professional wheelsmith and Velominati Dan Richter.
Third Place– A Velominati kit: jersey, bibs, and cap.

Shouldn’t you be betting on yourself?

I just didn’t have the legs last weekend, and have spent the week eating Welsh Cakes, drinking beer, and spending time with the missus. Hoping for better, but Brad really wants this one, you should see him…

Welsh cakes? Never had one but if it's a bit like having one too many Eccles cakes at the tea stop on a Sunday club run I can see why you're not too confident. I always get dropped after the stop.

Eccles cakes? Never had one. But we're probably talking about the same sort of thing.

Wiggins wants, but doesn't receive. There will be bike throwing involved. Welsh cakes even.
