I have not, but a kid that goes to my college rode for the U23 development team over in Belgium and got to race in the U23 Paris Roubaix.... I talked to his dad the other month and I asked him about Arenberg, and all he said was "it was an experience".
He also said that when he was racing over there he once got in a break with a couple of Belgium riders and they kept trying drop him orwreck him into the gutter....ala "Breaking Away" ::Shakes fist, Darn Italians!::
It seems that the Europeans are not that welcoming to U.S riders, or that they just race totally different (dirty)
