    I've got a similar picture from a couple years ago when Boonen attacked in Beuvret la Foret. Never too young to get them hooked on cycling!

    I enjoy Test Match Special, but I'm not the world's biggest cricket fan.

    However, Hatch, Quigley and Kelly together are like Blowers, Aggers and Vaughan at their best, and they're commentating on Paris Roubaix!!!

    Just amazing coverage

    Guys, since people seem to pay attention to twitter, do as much tweeting whatever as you can to the Eurosport guys to let them know how infinitely better the commentary is.

    Wel, operation FlatClean has been a success, Stoverij is lightly bubbling away, should I crack open a beer now or go for a ride after the race??
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    I did this without prompting Rick, and got a tweet straight back with an email address so I could pass on my thoughts.

    Then festinagirl tweeted me and I instantly regretted ever tweeting about it :oops:
