A few weeks ago there was a report that some of the race sponsors were
having problems getting some sponsors.
Well after watching some of the classics I think I know one of the
reasons why....!!! The classic's seem like they are missing something
with so many of the big stars missing. No Lance, no Jan, No
Simoni...... Eddy Merckx said a few years ago that cycling is a
spectacle and needs Panache...ie excitement. Now I can certainly
understand why the Lance and others would avoid Paris Roubaix. I am
glad too see that the cobbled sections has been re-introduced into the
TDF. Hopefully the UCI's council on professional cycling has changed
things for the better.
