It's been a while, but finally Paris-Roubaix is going to be a wet, muddy, dirty, gross, heroic affair  

 

Oh...

Crap   Well, we knew, that things are going to get messy, when we get into october and voila...

Paris-Tours will be run just fine this Sunday. It's the local prefet being an uttercrétin

 

This handsome fellow

And we're live with Gent - Wevelgem, 230km to go

Favourites Van der Poel and Van Aert looking at each other when three guys were away and Pedersen made the jump, they were too late then  

 

What a show in those final ten kilometers! And what a race by Pedersen making the jump and sprinting to the win. By far the most impressive bit of cycling I've seen from him And yes, I know he's a former world champion.

Finally a rainy Paris Roubaix  

 

 

Oh wait...

Belgian TV coverage after the final just ridiculous - cameras straight to 8th place van Aerts, nothing for the actual winner.

Strong Danish day in cycling with Mads' win, a win for Casper Pedersen in Paris-Tours (though it's really not the race it once was) and a 3rd place in the Giro.

Van der Poel is having a letdown season it appears. Disappointing.

It’s second season syndrome, happens in every sport.  When you’re in your first season you achieve a lot because the opposition is never focussed on you.  In your second season, everyone knows you’re dangerous & so they guard you out of contention.
