KWIATKOWSKI!!! What a finish that was!

Oscar-worthy “Well, that’s the way it goes” reaction from Cosnefroy.  Meantime inside

Windy day at Roubaix leading to a 2 peloton split with WVA, MVDP, Asgreen and Mads Petersen in the second group. Time to slightly panic for the big favourites.

Off we go as we approach the first pavé of the day.

A lucky break for the second group, as Ganna had a flat, which led Sky/Ineos putting on the brakes at the front and the gap is halfed. Ganna though looked very impressive in the catch up. As expected it's already chaos and we barely hit the paves.

Oi, Yves Lampaert brought down by an idiot fan  with a podium place up for grabs.

 

Looks like INEOS are getting rewarded for all the work they did (Checks watch) six hours ago.

Two different Dutchmen won the two biggest monuments Flanders and Roubaix!

 

Incredible season by Van Baarle. They say his 2nd place at the world championship last year and the confidence the national coach gave him really empowered him.

Not quite sure how Chris Froome has the nerve to take that Israeli billionaire’s money after his display of utter crapness in the Tour de Romandie today.  If the owner wants a marquee name for his team he might as well sign Indurain or Hinault, their careers couldn’t be more over.
