Donno if you guys saw the course today(sunday),but it was AWESOME!!!Our little Belgian prouds made the show there,and how!!!!Man that was beautifull!I just wanted to say this
Oh yes by teh way congrats.to the Dutch poeple with Servais Knaven,but it was a belgian dude that decided that he had to win

ps:I heard that they broadcasted the whole course in the states,live

oh yeah, it was a great race, Servaes Knaven won it.

Johan Museeuw was indeed the one who decided that he could win, but still, a dutchman winning Paris - Roubaix is a little miracle

Too bad Jos Verstappen couldn't won any points with the GP of Imola, otherwise the day would be totally perfect

For us Belgian people it's tradition ,almost half of the total editions has been won by a Belgian dude,48 of the 100winners,and the only Oekrainian winner ,became a Belg afterwards

The course was great yeah. Knaven is only the 5th Dutchman who ever won Paris-Roubaix, so that's not bad at all...

Yes I've watched the race too!!! from 13:00 till 18:00!!
and I must say it was the most beautifull, heroic race I have ever seen!!! It was exciting from the start!!! Really awesome!!!!!!
I even prefer watching a good cycling race to a soccer-match. *sigh* What a race!!

GREETZ

Last year it was way cooler, with Johan Museeuw as the winner, cuz the next year he fell in the same race and had something terrible to his legs.
Isn't that something winning the race that has cost you to lay back 6 months?

But if you would judge the race in an objective way I think this race was much more spectacular... (saw Parijs-Roubaix last year too). C'mon this year it was a true hell!! The "Bos van Wallers" was really one killer-part of the parcours!
Next week Luik-Bastenaken-Luik... can't wait for that one!!

But this summer he had a motorcycle-accident,a few days in coma,a few complications with the chirgurie,an dif it wasn't for that f*cking flat tire,he would have crossed the line with Peeters,and now he's second,so,not bad at all,that guy is a real killer!
Johan the lion King!(noticed that guy with his board?hehe )

Euh ....not to me he isn't but i'm guessing for heavy Museeuw-fans or even Peeters-fans,they would call him that way Anyway I didn't heard it yet,but wat niet is....
But actuaaly he wouldn't be,he's livin' in Belgium actually,so i'm gessing that he will have many supporters here

I've got 2 pics of our Dutch Hero :

Take a warm shower after the race man....

Congratz...you WON!

Just to get the feeling of the race...

Think that opicure with Museeuw that was pointing to Knaven more appropriate After all yuu have to admit that he was the strongest(talking about Johan)

Huh, a test?? Where was that test given...not at school I guess...otherwise it's a damn bad school

It was a bonus question, for a history test, every time we take a test she asks something that has been in the news quite often so......
