- I spent 20 years of my life working in the bicycle industry, turning wrenches and selling bikes for some of the industry's best shops. I have extensive experience designing and constructing frames in both steel and titanium and have performed thousands of bike fits. I am passionate about bicycles in all forms. The bicycle provides me with physical and mental health and taps me into a social pipeline that allows me to share my passion with others. I ride as often as possible and love the flow of a hard group ride. Check back for musings about all things road cycling and, especially, the Spring Classics. The devil is in the details and I am an expert in the useless minutia that makes up our discipline.

Interesting that the organizers didn't DQ the riders who went through the closed train crossing. This little tidbit would have been helpful for Bruyneel with his case for Hoste.
Agreed. Funny how time forgets.
I was caught off guard by the race not finishing on the Roubaix Velodrome. I did a bit of checking, and it turns out that 1986 was the first year since WWII that P-R didn't finish on the velodrome. That same, non-velodrome finish was used again in 1987-1988, and I believe backlash concerning the break in tradition moved was the reason P-R's finish returned to the velodrome from 1989 to the present.
