Paris Nice

It’s too hard. I need more
It’s too hard. I need more money. I know I say that every year but it’s always too hard.

Maybe this isn’t the place to ask, and without wishing to start a whole flaming argument, how come Meersman is “AR” and Terpstra is “PC”?

Rosters have now been
Rosters have now been updated, think I caught everything. If any changes happen tomorrow I will do them tomorrow night when I get back from Norwich, so they will get done, just may be late on

When I first saw the course
When I first saw the course and the fact that there was no TT, nor was the Col D’Eze present I thought “Pah, another step towards this race’s irrelevance courtesy of the boneheads at ASO”

But…

On reflection I really like the fact that rather than being an early training race for TdF, as it was becoming, Paris-Nice is having a bit of character returned to it. It’s a race for the buccaneering all-rounder who can hang with the mountain goats and punch up the steep segments, as well as providing plenty of good sprinty action early doors and mucho breakaway potential. If the teams/riders show up for this one, it could be a pivotal edition of this venerable but fading race. Here’s hoping, anyway.

EDIT: I see the Col D’eze is present. Silly me. Comment still stands though 🙂

There’s a lot of good Young
There’s a lot of good Young ‘uns :X

Ive done preliminary
Ive done preliminary startlists, told you I was doing this last night, and Id let Dave know it was ready, which I did, so it will be open soon, probably in the morning. It has nothing to do with the startlists/teams, its about not having too much stuff open at once or too early. As it starts sunday, most will pick teams friday night or saturday anyway
