[PeteS]

I will be off on a short run soon with the aim of getting back in time to sit down and watch my favourite one day race, Paris Roubais.
Always a hard one to predict with luck playing a significant part. MVDP looks unbeatable so far this season but Mads Pedersen and Jasper Philipsen in good form. Tom Pidcock is a last minute entry having crashed out of the tour of the Basque country. Laurence Pithie would be my outside punt though
I watched the women's race yesterday and if conditions are similar, then it could be a fast race but some cross and headwinds will play their part too.
It wil be interesting to see what affect if any the new chicane before the entry to the Arenberg Forest will have. I fear it will only move the action to the previous cobbled sector as the attacks go to gain a better position for the chicane.
