They've just entered the Trouée d'Aremberg The worst stretch of the Paris Roubaix race. The tubes are giving up left and right! Flying off the rims! Big 'chute'. It's a mess! MvdP and WvA are leading together with 4 others. l'Enfer du Nord: The Northern Hell. A true name.
Interestingly: MvdP and WvA both ride with no gloves! Others have extra padding in the gloves. But not for those two.
