major bunny hopping going on at right side of cobbles.
I tried that in 1983 while training for amateur P-Roubaix with 3 team-mates, two in front of me bunny-hopped over a giant hole, I hopped, and caved in my rear wheel on far side of hole !

I always thought they did it on purpose, rode straight at that hole
with me blindly following, cause they were French and I was Canadian, and the cobbles were THEIR cobbles

That nice article at CN said that there are 5 Americans racing for the team today,
and it’s the first time for 4 of them (Cruz has ridden it several/numerous times before.) One of those riders is young Brent Bookwalter, and I hope he’s having a great day, and can finish…

only in Paris-Roubaix can so many favourites be out of it with still 90 km to race.
no other classic comes close

I absolutely love how they come out of that
and start looking around and taking inventory. Beautiful.
