The eagle eyed will notice I’m wearing a hexo helmet. It’s super comfortable.

Agreed on all points about gearing. I would say I stuck mainly in 44-15 - despite having other options it is virtually impossible to change gear on the cobbles. IF I ever did it again I would double wrap the bar tape and drop the psi to 30

That’s pretty nice of you! The signage at the end was pretty confusing @modan got lost just after that stupid foot tunnel (about 5km from the finish) and rode an extra 5km.

I rode gravel kings at about 40, thinking that they would lose pressure over the rough stuff. Amazingly they didn’t so my gooch is destroyed. I heard that kristoff rode 25c tubeless which makes zero sense and he inevitably had 3x failures

Hahaha yeah there were some hilarious shunts at the finish line when the Audi riders (Specialized and a Sagan jersey) realised too late that sprinting off the bend meant they needed more space to stop. I went went for the ‘bike friends’ finish instead

Bonus roubaix tech spotted on eurotunnel. A zero clearance giant defy 😂

Little chance of that! It was horrible for the first hour. After that constant vibrations actually shook blood back into my fingers!

Absolutely bonkers! I’m NEVER riding that again! Only 1 mechanical issue. @modan got a puncture on the carrefour 5 star sector and Bryan’s (Sram of course) shifter decided to stop working properly.

Hi I'm Mike, a London Architect and general pessimist. I used to ride a lot 10 years ago but have recently just got back into it. Amazingly, I still have the same bike (with a few tasteful upgrades). I also bought myself a Cooper single speed this year, but sold it because it was too trendy! Occasionally I ride with the Brixton CC. See you around!
