You can win!
Eddy Merckx Paris-Roubaix victories poster
Cycling great Eddy Merckx won Paris-Roubaix three times,
in 1968, 1970 and 1973. The above-pictured poster, which commemorates
all three Merckx victories in the "Hell of the North," including
his win in 1968 wearing the rainbow jersey as world champion, was
donated to cyclingfans.com by the artist at the start of Paris-Roubaix
in Compiègne last week. This superb poster will
be among the prizes you can win here at cyclingfans.com during the
Tour de Georgia which runs through April 27. So, stick around
and you can win! (U.S. residents
only are eligible to win the Eddy Merckx poster.)
Note: We'll also tell you how you can
get your hands on a Paris-Roubaix mini replica cobblestone trophy
for your desk. Great conversation piece!

Is Rock Racing Good for Pro Cycling?
As AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds
reports
, people seem to either love or hate the Rock Racing pro cycling
team. They brought style, their own podium girls, and Mario Cipollini
to the Tour of California. They also brought riders such as Tyler
Hamilton, previously suspended for blood doping, and Santiago Botero
and Oscar Sevilla who were reportedly linked to the Operation Puerto
doping scandal. Controversially, Hamilton, Botero and Sevilla were
not allowed to race in California. But they are being allowed to
race this week at the Tour de Georgia.

Some argue that Rock Racing is good for the sport because they
are getting people's attention and in theory will help provide a much-needed
boost to the sport, bringing in new fans. Others argue that the
last thing cycling needs right now is more controversy and have been
critical of Rock Racing team owner Michael Ball for signing Hamilton,
despite the fact that he has served his suspension, Botero and Sevilla.

A Wedding on Mont Ventoux
Happy Anniversary, Barry and Dawn!
Chicago (cyclingfans.com) - Tour de France champions such as
Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Lance Armstrong climbed Mont Ventoux
on their way to Tour glory.
Cyclingfans.com reader Barry Johnson, who works for former
USPS and Discovery Channel cycling team sponsor Advanced Micro Devices
(AMD), climbed Mont Ventoux to get to his wedding!

(text and photos)
Barry first contacted cyclingfans.com asking where one can find
official pro race event posters. So we're sending him a rare
2001 Grand Prix des Nations official event poster featuring Lance Armstrong
as the reigning champion. (Past winners of this prestigious race
against the clock (2004 was the last year it was held) also include
Jacques Anquetil (9 times!), Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault (5 times),
Laurent Fignon, Chris Boardman, and Jens Voigt).
Barry and Dawn, thanks again for sharing your story. Happy
Anniversary!

Notes:
- Unbelievable Paris-Roubaix-like "roads" in wet
weather they are riding on at Tro Bro Leon. (We've got Amstel
Gold Race playing in one window and Tro Bro Leon in another window.)
- Eurosport France also has Tro Bro Leon
here
with Jacky Durand commentating. -Bernie
- Meanwhile, in France, Tro Bro Leon video streaming
coverage on France 3 television is now
LIVE as well
here
. Should be viewable worldwide. -Bernie
- Live video streaming flash:
Eurosport UK with Sean Kelly commentating
LIVE now
here
.
- WOW. Even if
you do not have Microsoft Silverlight, check out this Amstel Gold
Race live coverage
here
. Scroll that page down past the dynamic graphics
of today's race and click on the little video camera icons on the map
to see historical video clips of Amstel Gold Race. Nicely done.
(Thanks again, Roger.)
- Amstel Gold Race on Dutch TV (NOS) can also be watched
live
here
(full experience appears to require Microsoft Silverlight
, Microsoft's answer to Adobe's Flash/Flex used in the
Tour de Georgia live Tour Tracker, etc.) (Thanks
for sharing this, Roger!)
- Amstel Gold Race Dutch TV live video stream
here
. (Netherlands only?) (Thanks, Frank in The
Netherlands!)
- Official Site GPS Tracker (using ChampionChip system)

.

coverage of Amstel Gold Race is "worldwide and free".
- Amstel Gold Race live video coverage on

begins at 14:00 CET (8am U.S. Eastern).
- We expect there to be some Eurosport live video
