MTN-Qhubeka on the pavé for Paris-Roubaix

More than a race, Parix-Roubaix is a surviving test. Wiggins, Boom and Kristoff probably will drive the race, and whatever will be, Paris-Roubaix will be epic. Let’s take a look at this photogallery made by Jered Gruber. Honestly these photos make us dream if we think to the race of this weekend. You can see the dust from the cobble stone with this MTN-Qhubeka peloton, and it makes you think how much mess there will be sunday on the race with 25 teams riding this race. We have MTN-Qhubeka teams here, making a brief for the race. MTN-Qhubeka obtained the wild card to ride in this race. MTN’s team is not short of Classics experience either, with Edvald Boasson Hagen, Tyler Farrar and Theo Bos likely to lead the line this spring. MTN’s fellow Tour de France invitees, Bora – Argon 18 will also line up at the Hell of the North, having taken part in the race as NetApp-Endura in 2014. Wanty-Groupe Gobert’s Bjorn Leukemans was the best-placed wildcard finisher in last year’s race, finishing 47s down on winner Niki Terpstra in 15th.

Briefing for Cannondale-Garmin Pro Cycling Team on Paris-Roubaix track

This weekend Paris-Roubaix, the Queen of the Monuments of the european calendar, will see the start. Rode for first time in 1896, is the dream either the nightmare for every cyclist. Pavé roads for many kilometers will test nerves and bikes, and companies producing bikes or tyres are always searching for the weapon X to avoid mechanichal problems or punctures. Falling down is part of race, and who finishes the entire race, whitour reching the podium, could say it’s a quite good result. Since 1977 a part of the prize is a cobble stone, like those the winner has dominated during the race. Cannondale-Garmin is on the track right now testing the roads, the feeling with this hell road, expecially in the Arenberg Forest and Carrefour de l’Arbre area. See this beautiful photogallery by Jered Gruber, following Cannondale-Garmin pro cycling team in the track recon.
