Paris-Roubaix is the best race ever, it’s fantastic to watch.
Haven’t seen it live. But I will go some time. I’ll do the sportive next year.
Saw Amstel last year (and the Gent Six together with a Superprestige Cross in Belgium). I shall be riding the Flanders sportive this year (140km, mind) and watching the race on one of the climbs the next day.
I love that hardman attitude to racing out there. And the naitonal obsession of Belgium with all things cycle racing.
