So glad tax day has come and gone.  The “real” job will slow down considerably (hopefully not to the point of going on the dole), the weather will get better and beer will taste better.  Something like that.  So the winner of the Roubaix contest is Bob Kimzey of Sac Town in No Cal.  There were surprisingly only 2 with Boonen as the big winner and they both also had Cancellara in 2nd so it was 3rd place as the tiebreaker.  Bob had Flecha (6th) and Guy Smith had Ballan  (DNS) as 3rd so there you go Bob’s your uncle and in this case also our winner.  Congrats, wear it well.

You know for all the hype Roubaix (and for that matter Boonen) always seems to live up to it.   This time Boonen really was the last man standing when he got the gap, but when he did it was 53:11 time and he ran off with the loot like a Goldman Sachs VP.  The legend of Tommeke grows.

I have to admit that until Bonnen got away I was hoping Hushovd would swing his mighty hammer and vanquish all.  I like seeing the ‘wegians win.  It reminds me of the crazy ass parties those guys used to throw when I was in college.  They may not loot and pillage like their forefathers but the do live large. As for Georgie, there is always next year….
