Velominati Super Prestige: Paris-Roubaix 2015

No one can be happy about Sunday’s weather forecast (except for 95% of the riders and support staff). I am not. Now every Norwegian non-cobble riding specialists has a chance of winning this. I was hoping for day that would separate the Rule #9 riders from everybody else. Bah!

We can take some comfort in knowing our Keepers Tour brothers will be at three different cobbled secteurs, hydrating and yelling with the the locals. Keep an eye out for the V-flag.

There is not much to say about Paris-Roubaix that has not been said. It is the race of the season.

Consult your god. Go with your heart or your head on this. Enter your choices, prepare your frites deep-fryer, the beer selection, assure your family that drinking and swearing on a Sunday morning is part of your religion.

The VSP page has the details and in case anyone forgot, the end of the season could get you here:

  • First place– A custom Jaegher frame, handbuilt in Belgium.
  • Second Place– A Café Roubaix/Velominati wheelset, Chris King hubs, hand built by professional wheelsmith and Velominati Dan Richter.
  • Third Place– A Velominati kit: jersey, bibs, and cap.

  • Head says the new Norwegian king of the classics, but some other body part is telling me to go a different direction. Something about the prep Sky has done makes me feel like Ol' Beaks has a shot to ride off into the sunset with one of the greatest cycling stories ever told. I'm going with him and the CX boys on the podium...but I don't feel all that great about it.

    Regardless of who wins it's going to be an epic day of racing. Our Superbowl of cycling is upon us! Hup Hup Bitches!! (Thanks @freebirdvelo)

    I can never pick Degenkolb because I am pretty sure that he wears guy liner when not on the bike. I have a strict anti-guy liner policy.

    I'm afraid to ask...guy liner?

  • No sign of Wiggo or G in these results. Wiggins in a ditch holding his elbow. Vandenbergh solos in, Greipel wins a group sprint. Or not. A man can dream.
