I love dirt. I love mud, ..mud fkn rocks. I love ‘cross too, but even more, I love watching roadies mashing carbon fibre uber bikes over mud strewn cobbles.. yeah, the Paris Roubaix is the shit. With sections carrying names like ‘Road to the Slaughterhouse’, how could it be anything but good. Queen of the classics is correct. Phil Liggett talking the talk.. “Hammering opponents all the time, hoping you’ve got enough for the pave at the end”.. so rad. Go Phil, go. Boonen on the go (literally?).. Taswegian boy Wesley Sulzberger smashing it up with the lead group, awesome.. All awesome. Hats off to SBS for showing it.

..and just to plug.. Did you know that a BnC teamster beat Roubaix rider Matt Goss on the track 09? True. BnC world beaters, just like our Andy eh?
