No #ParisRoubaix this year ...
As a small consolation, I built a Trouée d'Arenbrick. 🙂
Up front, a kid by the roadside in replica kit sees his favourite rider from the WR Transport team lead the breakaway over the Trouée d'Arenbrick. Belgian fans of Team Blue cheer on their rider between chugs of beer.

The Team Octan rider punctured right at the start of the pavé, but he's quickly helped out by a well-placed soigneur while flag-waving & hotdog-eating spectators shout encouragement. #ParisRoubaix
Motorcycle police is guarding the barriers at the start of the Trouée d'Arenbrick. The TV moto has just hit the pavé and is filming the chase group, led by two riders of Team B&Y who missed the break. #ParisRoubaix
The ice lolly salesman's daughter is safe behind the barriers. In the foreground, the monument to Jean Stablinski who 'discovered' the Trouée d'Arenbrick for #ParisRoubaix.
On the helicopter shot of the chase group, you can see another Team Octan soigneur ready to hand a bidon to his rider who just threw the empty bottle to a fan. #ParisRoubaix
Two more shots of the break on the Trouée d'Arenbrick. #ParisRoubaix
And last but not least, the chase group as they're about to hit the pavé that means the world to us cycling fans. #ParisRoubaix
How will the race play out? Nobody knows at this point. It's still almost 100 km from the Trouée d'Arenbrick to the velodrome. Who do you root for? #ParisRoubaix
I have hidden an 'easter egg' on the Trouée d'Arenbrick in memory of a cyclist. Can you find it? #ParisRoubaix
And let me know if there are any problems. I've not used @kofi_button before, and there may still be some teething problems. 🙂
