Should be warm and dry on the day though. Not sure how dried out the secteurs will be, but potentially dry enough not to be muddy but not so dry it's really dusty.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

When I spoke to Boonen about no gloves, even in PR he said (to translate) “if you’re getting blisters on your hands in Roubaix you’re holding onto your handlebars too hard so you’re probably a bit of a 🐈 “
Not gonna argue, my friend.
(Also said it’s much easier for pros as they go so much faster)1 -

If you ride regularly without gloves you get callouses in all the right places. Not the most attractive thing, but functional.rick_chasey said:When I spoke to Boonen about no gloves, even in PR he said (to translate) “if you’re getting blisters on your hands in Roubaix you’re holding onto your handlebars too hard so you’re probably a bit of a 🐈 “
