  • to lose to a plastic bag sucks

    

  • @gdkzen oh ok, that explains it.

  • @dachicagoan Tradition. There's an organization devoted to making sure that those cobbled roads remain in their standard/substandard condition.

    These days, the riders use very different equipment for the cobbled classics than they would for smoother surfaces. Also, you are required to wear at least a helmet these days (UCI rules).

  • These are one of the classic races I never understood. What is the point of taking road cyclists and making them ride through mud-strewn cobblestone paths? All the while with no additional protective gear and using road bikes rather than bikes better suited for the terrain?

  • at 2:20 Phil says, "The prospect of an unknown winning..." Well, they remain unknowns to viewers for quite a while since he fails to even mention one of their names until five minutes into the video. It's a bad habit of focusing on the story that was expected while ignoring the story that's unfolding.

  • The Velodrome went through renovations for a few years. That is why they didn't finish inside the Velodrome

  • Laurent Fignon était,de loin,le plus fort ce jour là!Oui,mais voilà,une échappée matinale au long cours a tout emporté et personne ne se souvient que c'est Dirk Demol qui a gagné devant Thomas Wegmuller.

    Rendons hommage à Laurent,merci

  • @bikeracerguy I believe they moved it, for a couple years anyhow, to finish next to a major sponsors warehouse or HQ. At least that's what I remember reading.

  • It is Geoffrey Downes' "Symphonie Electronique." You can get it on iTunes, and probably other places online. I can't ID the second song, but I know I've heard it somewhere else!

  • Anyone know the tune that starts at 4:10. Never been able to identify that track.
