47.5 km were ridden in the first hour of Paris-Roubaix. That has to be
one of the fastest first hours of any classic, ever. I thought the
predictions were for a slight headwind all day.

In contract, the first hour of Flanders this year was ridden at an
average of 38 km/hr.

Kyle, I saw ST in a race yesterday. He actually wasn't fat ...for a Masters
45+ guy anyway. Still, I don't think he did the hilly RR the day before.
