Paris Roubaix, preview and recon…
It puts a shiver down your spine, goose bumps up your arms, it is Paris Roubaix.
Threre’s nothing else quite like it, it’s war on bikes to be honest. Once you take that start line in Compiegne you must be ready for battle.
27 sectors of bone breaking pave totaling 52km. Only the strongest make it to the velodrome in Roubaix.
Today has passed so quick I have just got a moment to write on here at 10.30pm, so really I should get to bed. But to be honest, I’m actually excited about tomorrow, which is quite different to what I’ve felt the last two times I started here.
My job tomorrow is to protect our leader Fred Guesdon for as long as I possibly can. So I will do that with all my power, but with whatever’s left I will be dragging myself to that velodrome.
Sorry it’s only brief but I will be back with a full report when I’ve recovered from tomorrow’s efforts.
Hope you’ll all be watching.
Cheers
Tim
