What's more fun than 20 jesuses in 1 bucket?

1 jesus in 20 buckets.

Happy Bonus Chocolate Day.

I'm not eating any

(well OK, I did have one [big] easter egg... but the rest must wait.)

 

[Quinz]

Lindt chocolate is awesome

 

[Chops_a_must]

I'm on a chocolate ban.

 

[Chops_a_must]

I hope everyone has got their dexies and coffee prepared for tonight.

Paris-Roubaix.
MotoGP
Ice Speedway GP
Masters Golf

and probably some other things I have missed.

 

[shibz_1989]

I had to go buy my own. Sad face.

Anyone with the slightest interest in cycling should watch Paris-Roubaix tonight. 9:30 on SBS.

 

[Quinz]

Sell it to me Suzuki. What is so great about it?

Look above you radio-active man.

Sell it to me Suzuki. What is so great about it?

Lots and lots of crashes. Broken bones. Broken bikes.

Renowned as the hardest one day race in the world. Arguably in all sports.

They ride from Paris to the border with Belgium.

220-250 km of narrow roads and cobblestones. It's usually wet in some parts. Plenty of mud and funny hijinks.

Has a history of hilarious winner's speeches where the winner says it's a ridiculous event and shouldn't be run etc.

It's just pretty crazy really.

Some pics from last year when questions weren't that bad. This year it has been raining and it might rain during the race.

 

[DrTomSwift]

It also has the best ever trophy in sport. Seen here with the first non-European to win it, Australian Stuart O'Grady.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Some big crashes already!!!

[Dagless]

Who would miss it?

 

[DrTomSwift]

Massive crash at the front of the peloton. Guys are running around it through the field, some cyclecross experience needed.

 

[DrTomSwift]

This is Jens Voigt, a true hard man, after the 2001 Paris-Roubaix.

 

[Quinz]

It also has the best ever trophy in sport. Seen here with the first non-European to win it, Australian Stuart O'Grady.

Awesome.

Will watch some of it tonight, or the highlights at least.

 

[DrTomSwift]

Massive crash as soon as they hit Arenburg peloton about to hit it.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Even the other half couldn't stop watching it due to the crashes and so on.

Tom Boonen... what a man...

Amazing individual effort from Boonen!
