What do you think ?
Is the old gladiator Musseuw able to win Paris-Roubaix once again ?
Most likely this season is the last, no wonder he´s turning 38.

Sure, he could win again but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We have some great events between now and then. The Ronde (Tour of Flanders) and the mid-week classic Gent-Wevelgem on April 6th and 9th.

Museeuw would love to win the Ronde as much as Paris-Roubaix, as it is a World Cup event and is in his home country (Belgium).

I believe this year will be a breakthrough year for new riders. A new era of names will begin this year.

So Paris Roubaix we may see a new face and new faces on top.

But of course Musseuw has to be seen as a top contender and all the teams know that as well.

@ easyrider:
ah sure, I always forget Gent-Wevelgem...
To me, the season somehow begins with Paris-Roubaix - than I know that it´s pro-cycling time again.
