Paris Roubaix 2007--DVD Quality!
I just got my spring classics DVDs from WCP and plopped down on the couch to watch Paris Roubaix and was quite pleasantly surprised.
I believe prior years' DVDs were produced from SD quality source material, the 2007 edition appears to be derived from HD source material. The picture is not HD, but it is as clear as any widescreen DVD I've seen.
The color of the peloton pops. It's a great visual feast compared to the fuzzy images presented by Versus and cycling.tv.

The race coverage, from a story telling point-of-view, is pretty hard to follow. I recall watching it live and being bewildered by the action.
There is minimal coverage of the suicidal breakaway that actually set the rest of the race up; with the cameras focused on the chase groups all the time (Boonen, Cance, etc... were there).
Maybe I was just distracted looking for the ingredients that were so fatal to Boonen's shorts. Maybe a soapy water bottle?

Chris, I'll trade you something for the Pantani book. I'm kind of intrigued since I know nothing about his early years.

I pointed it out to my wife out of the WCP catalog.
Now let's see if she was actually listening to me.
