A bit late since the race happened today, but here is a 15 min video of the women’s teams in the lead up to Paris-Roubaix.

The series was meant to go in Spring, but when they postponed the race this video series did a lead up to another spring classic. Now we get the video as racers look forward to their first hell of the north.

Thanks for the good video Dan. I won’t spoil the result, but it was an interesting race for sure.

So happy to see rain and mud at Paris-Roubaix.

The meme accounts are correct about fans vs riders when rain is forecast.  
The highlights from yesterday were brutal, but also some great bike handling on show too.
