    Cloudy here in Troisville, 7 deg, little bit of wind. Oh, the sun has just come out...

    Useless weather.

    If you need to answer the call of nature today, can you do it on the cobbles rather than behind a tree?

    Any particular rider you'd like me to aim for?

    QS in the break.

    Van Keirsbulck's dad came an amazing 11th in 1990, after being in the breaks all day.

    Obligatory whinge about minor sports still being covered on Eurosport when the cycling's on....

    Incredible finish in the men's keirin though :-)

    Sky is grey over Roubaix. Always the chance of a shower to grease the stones.

    Heartily enjoyed that old French couple sitting by that crash, just having a crack whilst 4 riders lay on the ground in agony around them!

    Looks like they're intent on getting this over with quickly. Anyone with a detailed schedule for various bits of pave might want to adjust their times down a touch.

    On schedule for a 3.30-40ish* finish I'd say.

    Did I see Boonen and Pippo behind that split?
