"A Dutch video clip from Paris-Roubaix. Shot with a Weisscam, a German-made high speed digital camera capable of 4,000 frames per second, it captures surprising details in slow motion."

Best viewed outside of the embedded clip here on STW.

Looking at the YT page, it'd seem there's also a [url= http://www.youtube.com/user/robhodselmans ]HD version[/url].

Funny, isn't it, how after 15 years of focussing only on the TdF every year, British cycling fans are now finally getting into the Classics.

Not ridden the cobbles of Roubaix, but I have ridden the RvV sportive a few times. Belgian cobbles a lot smoother, and they still hurt a lot at 20mph, never mind what those guys are riding over at 25+..!

Yes, the tension comes right off that one. The rim seems close to getting a ding at 1:58 going by the amount of tyre flex.
