Interview with Knaven [2001 winner] in which he reveals his bike setup, strategy and best line for the PR pave's.

Also, some very nice footage from the early days of PR racing.

    Nice one. The slow motion footage of PR 2012 is rather revealing if you ever wondered what the pave does to body musculature.

    It was first a mad plan, but after having watched the whole 50min documentary/film (link in first post) I will be cycling the paves of PR in 2013 for sure.

    Phil Liggett (perhaps speaking to himself): ""This is no longer a cinderella, cloth-cap image sport. It's a very highly financed professional business and we've got the best riders in the world."

    The interview with Cancellara getting massaged is in English in the first post if people are interested.

    Amongst other things, he talks about how, unlike some, his muscles are 'soft but powerful'.

    It does get a bit homoerotic when you have a bald chap in a suit really 'observing' a semi-naked Cancellara getting massaged before watching a 70odd yr old de Vlaeminck have a shower in the Roubaix showers - but this is Holland so it's all kosha ( and thank god for that).

    After trying a few times and getting prompted to install Silverlight (already installed) I find that it only works for my 32-bit version of IE8
