The day before: 2009 pre-race training on Pavé d'Arenberg
April 11 update:
|
Le Trouee d'Arenberg aka the Arenberg Trench | Chris Horner said several years ago: "...they plowed a dirt road, flew over it with a helicopter, and then just dropped a bunch of rocks out of the helicopter! That's Paris-Roubaix. It's that bad - it's ridiculous." | Recreational cyclists find out how horrible the ride is over the bumpy cobbles |
Last year's champion and two time winner, Tom Boonen (Bel) of Quick Step testing out how the pavé d'Arenberg feels this year | Not exactly his event, but Filippo Pozzato (Ita) of Katusha has been on great form the last two weeks | Another Italian Manuel Quinziato of Liquigas is also on fine form with good showings at Tour of Flanders and Gent-Wevelgem. Here he is being interviewed by Davide Cassini of RAI Sport. |
Le Carrefour de l'Arbre at km 242 is the 4th last cobble section extending for 2km and rated among the hardest. That namesake restaurant will be busy on Sunday. | The "Russian Global Cycling Project" has rolled in | Inside the Katusha team bus, Filippo Pozzato is interviewed by the Italian press including Claudio Ghisalberti of Gazzetta dello Sport (also seated) |

April 7 update: Redux: 116 Big Photos from last year's CLASSIC Paris-Roubaix (disabled until after the race) () as a preview to this Sunday's race.
Background information
This page provides essential information and links for the third big classic of the year, the 107th Paris-Roubaix, which takes place this
Sunday April 12th. This year's
The Hell of the North / Queen of the Classics / La Pascale: the Easter race will feature 28 awful cobblestone sections along the 259 km course followed the traditional finish in the velodrame in Roubaix. Paris-Roubaix is one of the oldest races on the professional road cycling calendar. First run in 1896, it has been stopped only by the two world wars.
If you thought the cobblestones in last weekend's Tour of Flanders were bad listen to what Chris Horner has to say about Paris-Roubaix. "Let me tell you, though - there's a huge difference between Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. They're not even close to the same. In one, the cobbles are used every day by the cars, and kept up, and stuff like that. The other one - it's completely different . . . The best I could do would be to describe it like this - they plowed a dirt road, flew over it with a helicopter, and then just dropped a bunch of rocks out of the helicopter! That's Paris-Roubaix. It's that bad - it's ridiculous."
Check out the links below for a preview. — Steve
