While we're on the subject of special gear for the tour of flanders and paris roubaix: apparently tom boonen will have special front forks on his paris-roubaix bike as well as a special rear-triangle. Other Quickstep riders will only have a special fork and if they want they can get double bartape (that's a quote...). QS will we riding on 25 to 27mm tires. The whole silence-lotto team will be riding on special cross-frames with cross-brakes in case it gets to muddy.
Do we care? Errrr... not really, probably, it's funny to see how over here (in Belgium) people go crazy for two weeks each year about these races.
