This weekend is Paris-Roubaix, arguably the most famous cycling race of the spring classics. And for that reason, ‘A Sunday in Hell‘, the 1976 Danish documentary written and directed by Jørgen Leth about the race, should be a regular fixture in the Easter
The film follows in particular the tactics and movements of Eddy Merckx, Roger de Vlaeminck (’76 winner), Freddy Maertens and Francesco Moser. I have to day that my favourite part of the film is its opening, where a mechanics gently prepares a bike.
Enjoy!

Hay algo de relajante en la limpieza minuciosa que realiza el técnico

A mí me encanta limpiar las bicis. Hay quien lo odia. Pero es satisfactorio, además de que es una sensación de «trabajo bien hecho» cuando luego sales con la bici y solo oyes sonidos mecánicos, no ruidos debidos a porquería en la cadena.
