Is the finish line closer to the bend than a normal track finish line? That wouldn't have helped Dillier.

Worrying news about Michael Goolaerts.

I saw a VWC rider spark-out by the side of the road on the moto-coverage but didn't see what caused it. I was dipping in and out though so might have missed the incident.

Sadly he has died. Hard to see anything positive from the today’s race now. RIP.

''Belgian cyclist Michael Goolaerts has died aged 23 after a crash in Paris-Roubaix.
The Veranda's Willems-Crelan rider fell on the second set of cobbles in the one-day classic in northern France.
He suffered cardiac arrest and was airlifted to hospital in Lille but died at 21:40 BST on Sunday.
"It is with unimaginable sadness that we have to communicate the passing of our rider and friend Michael Goolaerts," read a team statement.''

Been out all day. Saw the result earlier but didn’t hear any details of the race... Terribly sad.

If it's the one that I saw a clip of, there didn't seem to be an incident. Just rode into the verge and fell. Very sad to see, but hopefully he went doing something he enjoyed.

It seems as though the poor lad had an underlying heart condition that no one was aware of.
