Saw his interview following stage 2. I noticed he was controlling the interview. He’s very articulate and seems to know how to handle himself in a bike race and in front of a mike. I hope he can help to elevated the sport here in the US.

I am very excited that taylor Phinney finally cracked the nut as it were. I had believed he will be the first American to win Paris-Roubaix with his double wins as an under 23 but his entry into the Pro tour was not giving me confidence that he could ratchet up his game to mix it up with the seasoned Euro squads. It would be great to have more lively press coverage as well. Most of the post race press conferences make the riders look lobotomized inpatients.The press talent will also need to think out of the box to make that happen…and rethink how the post race interviews look and feel. The fans want it and the general public will too if the vibe is contagiously lively.

Neil, interesting about modern rules regarding cycle path usage. If you have a look at old footage, especially in the single gear, pre-derailleur era, the race traversed a fair distance with cars on the road and peleton adjacent on the cycle path.
