Today has been a busy day in cycling! Lots of good stuff to read up on and follow. (Updated 6/2 with more links below and photos from CSC Invitational.)
The CSC Invitational
One of the other races besides the Giro's final stage going on. Sadly, coverage is often dismal on races here in the states but thanks to friends at PdC and some great bloggers, we have good stuff to read tonight!

I haven't found full results but VN had the top 10. I'm hoping CN at some point updates for a full list. Kudo's to Maggy for flying off the front from early on. I am thinking that it had to be a sight to see him (being the bigger guy he is) and the other little guy behind up off the front of the pack. I can't wait for pics in the morning from Mark to be up. It was good to see Brad up in the front after missing so much with the knee. Kudo's for Rollin with the 2nd place being there with out a team. Good stuff.

Paris-Roubaix Espoirs report (quick translation)
After a serious crash on the first cobblestones at Troisville (at km 51), the race was neutralized and a second start was given before starting the Viesly pave. A 5-man break escaped and would only be caught at Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes (km 109). At this point, the main field was only about 40 riders.
Finally, it's at Cysoing (30 k to go), that the right break escaped. It included Coen Vermeltfoort and Bol (Rabobank), Brambilla and Locatelli (U.C. Bergamasca), Beuret, Joseph (Beveren 2000), Debusschere (PWS Eijssen), Summerhill (Slipstream), Avery (Soenens) and Brouzes (Nogent). They would never be caught and the rae finished with an 8-man sprint (as Debusschere & Locatelli were dropped).
No mention of Alex in the reports or in the live news: http://www.directvelo.com/live-course/435/paris-roubaix-espoirs-.html
Lyne - thanks so much for the notes on the race! I smiled when I saw that gavia posted some stuff too. I was trying to find out more about it and I'm looking forward to reading from Alex once he recoups from it. I meant to say thank on here much earlier but work and PdC kept me busy today - ha ha!! Thank you!!!
