The Hell of the North: Paris - Roubaix (2022) 🐣

@Mamapolo2016 Most of these cobblestone roads excisted before they started cycling. So yeah 😅

@Mamapolo2016 Btw... I found this today. Just so you have an idea what it's about out here!

These aren't part of Paris-Roubaix, but most of them are used in "The Tour of Flanders" ... another cobblestone classic that is over a 100 years old.

@Kwek00 Thank you. I need a nap now.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales I just came home from my card tournament... going to change some cards in my main deck, make some food, stuff some weed in the pipe and then I'm going to look at the race that I recorded!

Yeah, the women were fun too... or Belgian top girl of this season missed the escape. And the Italian champions team did a great job stopping the group that was in pursuit. I think the Dutch and Belgian cyclist should have played a more risky game instead of letting themselves be dominated by the team that was protecting their champion.

@Kwek00 i’ve seen it ...fastest ever race....amazing

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Yeah, what a race!!!!

@Elessar Your Italian womens' champ won by riding a bit more then 30km all by herself. Great teamwork, because I think that made a real diffrence yesterday. But still, 30 km all by yourself against some pursuers... is a feat that can't be underestimated.
