Flèche Wallonne Wrap-up
If you’re a frequent visitor to Pavé, you might have noticed a rather interesting conversation taking place via the comments to my Flèche Wallonne Preview. Apparently Cadel Evans’ rainbow jersey was not enough to convince many of you that a renaissance might beckon for the temperamental Australian. Unfortunately it’s not always possible for me to … Continue reading
Monday Musette – Amstel Gold Race Wrap-Up
Phillippe Gilbert finally took a victory in a major spring classic, winning yesterday’s Amstel Gold Race with an impressive surge up the final ascent of the Cauberg. It was an exciting finish to a rather quiet race, as the favorites seemed content to wait until the final to begin testing their legs. Here’s what I … Continue reading
Brabantse Pijl Wrap-Up

Belgium held it’s breath as the 3-man … Continue reading

Here’s what I noticed: 1. Hats-off to Fabian Cancellara for adding a third jewel … Continue reading
Monday Musette – E3 Prijs and Ghent-Wevelgem Wrap-up
Sorry for the delay, but here are my thoughts following a jam-packed weekend of racing: 1. It’s hard to believe that Saturday’s E3 Prij was Fabian Cancellara’s first win in Belgium—aside from an ITT stage at the Tour of Belgium. Clearly, Spartacus is hoping it’s just a taste of better things to come—and with a … Continue reading
Dwars Door Vlaanderen – Wrap-up
I think the only person happier than I was about Matti Breschel winning today’s Dwars Door Vlaanderen was Matti Breschel. Don’t get worng: Pavé isn’t designed to be a prognostication site; I predict winners simply for entertainment purposes. Being correct just adds to the fun; I won’t gloat—for too long, at least. I caught the … Continue reading
