Paris-Roubaix 2011: Neutral service, neutralish journalists © Simon MacMichael.jpgMavic offers fans chance to win place in neutral service car during Paris-Roubaix (+ video)
Neutral service provider Mavic is offering one lucky cycling fan the opportunity to be as close as possible to the Paris-Roubaix action without actually riding over the pavé yourself – a seat in one of its cars during the race dubbed the Hell of the North on 7 April.
Mavic says that the prize includes travel to the race, which starts in Compiègne, some 75 kilometres north of Paris, hotel accommodation, and dinner with the Mavic neutral service team on the eve of the Queen of the Classics itself.
Entry via the Mavic website is open now to residents of the European Union and United States, and closes at 11am GMT on Monday 4 March (it's not a road.cc competition, so comments below won't get you entered).
This video from Mavic gives an insider’s view of their work on what is invariably their toughest day of the year.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Well, that was kinda the point. Less real entries = more chance for me!
That was also my thinking.
I tried it in the last one that was off site for winning something
Very funny. Hope it doesn't encourage anyone who gets so excited they don't read the article closely enough
Schwag - pick me!
I'm in......Would love to win this. PLEASE pick me....PLEASE
