Ok folks, the race is upon us so lets whip this post up... I know this race is harder to precict that a lottery but, let's hear some predictions anyways.

My favourite classics rider having retired (Peter Van Petegem), and Stuarty O'Grady being not as fit as i would have hoped, I say Leif Hoste for the win. (ok, its very long odds but I am dying to see Lotto on top again).

What do you say?

Supposedly it'll be a cold and wet race with max temp hovering around 12 deg C predicted.

Appears to finish at 2.10am so it shouldn't be a problem going to work the next day and beside you will gun it on the commute due to the Adrenaline rush.

I think Fabian Cancellara will be very hard to beat this year. The guy is just a machine. Boonen is always big favourite and I would love to see Ballan get up. But I guess there's guys like Flecha who has been knocking on the door for some time now and Devolder is probably one to watch also.

We're planning a get together to watch it on Sunday night. THere's 3 of us so far, me, James F & Adrian with the likely destination Jame's house if anybody is interested?

There's a run down on PezCycling.

Yesterday on Radio National there was a 5 minute piece about Paris-Roubaix which was quite good. Here's the link -

Yes true. I heard that sitting on the trainer. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for offering to host this James. Can you message me your address, I've been there once before, but that was some time ago. Also, what would like us to bring?

I'll just have to check it's fine with my parents in the morning and let you know, but i expect it'll be fine.

Not sure what we'll need, probably snacks. I've got plenty of beer and i can get some non-alcoholic stuff.

Anyway, check back here tomorrow arvo.

Ok, my house is fine.
