Think I will record it and watch it later on as live, but not sure if I can wait
The correct decision. Find a good corner of Wembley and then watch the race. Then back home to watch the recorded football match.0 -
OK, it's from last year, but still interesting. Cancellara went clear with Vanmarcke in 2013 at the Carrefour de l'Arbre, so that seems to be the place to head for this year!0 -
So are we all thinking Cancellara, Vanmarcke, and Kristoff?0

If that happens, all that will be left of Lefevere will be a pair of smoking shoes...which does have a certain appeal....0 -
Terpstra is really the only OPQS I can see staying with the big attack. Maybe if they can get van Keirsbulck up the road a bit earlier.0

Are the other two current/former cyclo-crossers?
Definitely a good shout if it rains.0 -

Nope. I'm waiting to get the latest weather report before deciding. I have 3 names in my head; only 1 of whom you mentioned.
Partly sunny skies, light breezes from the north, and temperatures in the high 50s' says VeloNews0 -
Current forecast says it won't rain.
*edit* RR beat me to it.

0% chance of rain sunday.
15-18° with only some clouds.
Edit; I think we got the weather forecast covered then!0 -

Yep, one of them is and that's exactly what I'm thinking.Partly sunny skies, light breezes from the north, and temperatures in the high 50s' says VeloNews
Yeh, I just want to wait until Saturday though in case it changes closer to the race. It seems quite settled there at the moment but sometimes it can change quite quickly.
The nightmare for the PTP is if there is a 50/50 chance of rain.
Edit: Looks like there is zero chance then 0 -

50 degrees? It's not the Sahara.
Boonen will be nearer the sharper end this time round. Don't expect him to win but likely top 5.0 -

Fahrenheit. About 10 degrees Celsius.0 -

No way.
I just thought the weathermen were just really stupid when I lived in the US.

Vandenberg and the OPQS Titans will win this Paris -Roubaix. FACT!0

As was said in the thread earlier, Arenberg looks very green. Not sure if that makes it easier or not.

Oops. :oops:
Didn't quite get what you meant there. I don't think 50 degrees Fahrenheit (or 10 degrees Celsius) is going to make any difference to anyone, compared to a wet race which could immediately rule most of the riders taking part.0 -
I'm praying for a wet race, I haven't had one since I started really watching pro cycling.
I'd love EBH or Stybar to win it but fear both won't be close...0 -

Erm? Don't think we have had a wet race since 2002!0 -

Forecast is fine I think, and has been all week.0

Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I was trying to remember the last wet race. I think it was 2002, but I could be wrong.0 -
Bradley Wiggins will be the first Tour de France winner to start Paris-Roubaix in the past 22 years.

You're right. 2002 it was.0 -
Would like to see another, not only as it makes the race more interesting, but I have a new waterproof jacket to test out!
