There is no such thing as an easy section today (okay, maybe Roubaix won't be a problem)

I can't wait! 

Plenty slippy road markings: velodrome should be fairly safe.

Roughly 365 meters done and that's the first fall of the day.

I mean the small, last section in Roubaix

Mathias Norsgaard trying to get away. I guess he has to go for it as it's a monument (he was in the break in both M-SR and RVV)

Mons-en-Pevele almost deep enough to make a triathlon!

It's after 10am after all, time to get drunk, apparently

A bit of crosswinds creating a front group but there's still a lot of fighting going on to get into the break. 
Could be smart as it doesn't seem impossible that they could go far if the wet cobbles make it harder for the main contenders.

Get drunk first thing in the morning: plenty time to have a sleep, sober up and get drunk again at lunchtime.  Old pro tip from Scottish football fans in London for Scotland/England games.

Pretty strong group that could be dangerous. Some strong outsiders in there. Trek don't want them to get too far ahead.

Philipsen, Wright, Kung, Moscon, Doull, Rowe, Declerq, Siskevicius, Van Hooydonk, Affini, Roosen, Erviti, Van Avermaet, Carvalho, Walscheid, Eekhoff, Sweeny, Maitre, Grignard, Mozzato, Van Asbroeck, Haller, Oss, Bissegger, Durbridge, Vermeersch

 

Big tempo guys like Küng, Moscon, Rowe, Declerq, Haller and Oss, that's some serious stuff.
