Anyone watching the races?

Doesn't going fast over cobbles damage the bike? But I guess that is the only way to do it, we were working hard but barely moving!

oh thanks for the news re the accident victims, that's good to hear.

you can only put 5 - 5.5 bar on the tires. That helps a lot.

I'm going to watch La Flèche Wallonne next Wednesday. Woohoo!

Thanks for your advice, papaver! One thing I wanted to ask though: is there radio station commentary in French for the Tour of Flanders and/or Ghent/Welvelghem? I know there is for Paris-Roubaix but I speak French, not Flemish!

It's La Flèche Wallonne today.

hi
Cheers for that. What I meant to say: is there live radio commentry (in French) during the Tour of Flanders? It would be nice to do that for the Flanders races... I have a decent Roberts shortwave radio that is gathering dust, be nice to use it...

ta! I have bookmarked the site.
One year we were sat in a campsite in NW Wales and were listening to live Tour de France commentry (from RTL I think), it was clear as a bell on the car radio!
