Van Aert seems to be down and out after Van der Poel's attack on the Hotond. Now on to the Kwaremont again, while Pedersen is working on a strong solo.

But Sagan got back on his bike after the Maciejuk crash, his hard fall was in that smaller but even harder Girmay crash if I'm not mistaken...

Nope. He could not continue after Maciejuk madness because of strong pain in his knee, he could not straighten his leg (the problem was as he claimed was not the crash itself but a couple of riders felt on him right after he crashed), he found the bicycle without a saddle. He tried a few kilometers on the spare, but he could not stretch his leg, so he retired

 

That´s what I found in our medias though https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/N0W11nw/video-peter-sagan-nasiel-po-pade-bicykel-zniceny-bez-sedla-ma-natrhnuty-sval-nemoze-vystriet-nohu/

Right, I think I got confused with Mohoric in my memory  

[Grassmarket 3,409]

Off we go with the Départ Fictif in the Paris Compiègne-Roubaix, 100km to go to the first pavé.

 

Would you believe, there are more  than  riders in the race today?  
 

Big teams keeping control, nobody’s been allowed anything over 15secs yet.  15km to the Pavé 1/29.
