Velo News has a couple . . . ar at least I THINK they are just jokes!

http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/04/news/the-end-of-flanders-cobbles-koppenberg-oude-kwaremont-scheduled-for-paving_166255

These two seem kinda weak . . . maybe they are saving their best effort for later in the day.

This is the only one that jumped out at me on CyclingNews.com . . .

And, of course, there's the Rapha Rope in the other thread.

Anybody else find any? Wonder what's on the HED site this morning?
