Spellbinding.
I was watching a brief video of some of the highlights of Paris-Roubaix, with subtitles generated automatically from the commentary. It was quite amusing to see the subtitling software's attempts at the winner's name: my favourite was "Thunderpool".

On another matter relating to this race, I was wondering what the riders wear on their hands to protect them from the effects of vibration when riding at those speeds over the cobbles?
