Velominati Super Prestige

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.

  1. romantic heart goes with Wiggo writing his own story. The rest? Might as well roll the dice. So many strong riders in form, so much that can happen.

    1. Wiggins
    2. Van Avermaet
    3. Sybar
    4. Vanmarcke

  3. I can’t see how this outcome could eventuate but what the Hell…

    Welsh Cakes and Eccles cakes are totally different.  Welsh cakes are like a dryer version of Scotch cakes.  Eccles cakes a package of currents bound in a filo pastry bundle.  Great post ride treat.

    Fuck; it’s a brave man that tells a Yorkshireman that his cake are made of filo pastry.

    I suspect you’ve been eating some southern gentrified deli version.

    Ha Ha!  I claim I can do that as I’m a Yorkshireman, though but for 18 months I could have been a Welshman.  I couldn’t think of a better description of the “packaging”.  My VMW tells me that Flakey Pastry is a better description but I don’t think that does them due justice.

  7. I am afraid I cannot get moist over the Wiggo hype he gets off his bike too easily, and I would love to opt for G but I cannot really put him down to win, and having done a Delgado on this seasons VSP so far I need to up my game…I think it is time for Greg (always the bridesmaid never the bride) to finally silence the critics.

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Greg Van Avermaet
    2. Kristoff
    3. Geeforce
    4. Saggy

  8. Degenkolb will be the next multiple P-R winner, kid’s gonna be a classics legend. Would love to pick Wiggo for the win, but it just ain’t happening.

  26. We all have to hope that Etixx get someone on the podium. That way we’ll be assured that someone will be dressed properly and wear a cycling cap and not a goddam baseball cap.

  48. A strong breakaway group will take it to the velodrome. Paolini’s presence will prevent Katusha from chasing, so Kristoff will be out of luck. Or something…
