Grab a newspaper on the train and flip it around so I read the back page first.

It's the Stanford Band getting smashed in Stanford's John Elway's last rugby - I mean, college football game.

Women's Paris-Roubaix coverage just started on Eurosport 2.
Live feed of France's 2nd biggest race to start shortly.
Lots of cobbles, muck, rain and very windy today.
Usually it tends to be dry and dusty in last 30 years but definitely not this time. This is fourth edition of women's race.
EDIT:
Men's race (EST. 1896) tomorrow.
Yep - it only took 125 years to get a women's version of race...

Didn't rain at all and strong wind had huge effect on the race and cobbles were dry even if their was lots of puddles.
Race was not a good as previous three years - which in fairness were exceptional.

I don't think I've ever seen a Paris Roubaix in last 30 years where it actually rained during the race, no matter how bad conditions were.

Hi-tech shoes have sent world records tumbling. Do they herald the end of the level playing field, or are they the saviour of long-distance racing?
