A Quick Adjustment
Paris Roubaix is a hard race on everyone including the mechanics. I think this is the winner of the "how far out of the car can you reach before you bounce off of the road" prize. Jimmy Engoulvent (Europcar) had trouble with his derailleur, with the chain jumping off of the rear cog, it fell to the mechanic to make the adjustments and lube the chain all at 45 kph. The dust of the cobbles of the Hell of the North, play havoc on these fine tuned racing machines not to mention the damage the pounding of the rough roads do to rider and bike alike.
