Paris-Roubaix art detail

Paris-Roubaix is a monster of cobblestones that rejects riders, chews them up, spits them out.  Relatively few survive and only  one has the right combination of talent, skill, experience, teamwork and luck to win.  This humorous Paris-Roubaix art reproduction was donated to cyclingfans.com by the artist at the start of Paris-Roubaix two weeks ago.   (U.S. residents only are eligible to win the Paris-Roubaix art print.)

Tim Duggan of Slipstream-Chipotle is in the hospital recovering from a serious crash in the Tour de Georgia two days ago.  We send out our best wishes for a full and speedy recovering.

Tim is an excellent time trialist and competed in several editions of the now defunct Grand Prix des Nations time trial, riding for Team USA.

I met Tim nearly five years ago when he was just getting started in Europe...

I was in Dieppe, France shooting the 2003 Grand Prix des Nations, a long 70km individual time trial event whose past winners include Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Lance Armstrong.  I made a point to arrive early so that I could also shoot the shorter 35km event that the U23 riders would be competing in; doing so is a great way to become familiar with the up and coming riders.  But I also knew that media coverage is very poor for U23 events compared to the Elite field...and U.S. riders in Europe were far from home and their families often found that photos of them in competition were difficult to find.

These guys work incredibly hard in this difficult sport.  I spoke to Tim at that 2003 event about his start in Europe and before I knew it he was asking me about my being in Europe.  Incredibly generous with his time.  I'll always remember that.

Get well soon, Tim!

- Congratulations to Brandon Shmidt for winning the Eddy Merckx Paris-Roubaix poster yesterday by picking Team Slipstream to win the TTT.  "I thought Slipstream might be extra motivated to win one for Duggan and they do have some good time trialers."  Good call.
