First career win.

[chriscross1966]

Heck of a race for your first peo win (barring being point guy in a team TT finish)

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Both races won by Italians today.

 

[LarryDuff]

What a very disappointing ending. So tame after an interesting race

 

[Adam4868]

Fact!

 

[Flying_Monkey]

Fact!

I have more...

 

[roadrash]

right, paris Roubaix on sunday who do you fancy for this , I will pick three as usual , Wout Van Aert, ...G.V.A and Stybar
leaving out everyones obvious pick Sagan

 

[Adam4868]

Suprised in a way that Sagan is the bookies favourite ? But you can never rule him out.
So I'll go with Degenkolb.Naesen and GVA in any order !

Naesen, Degenkolb... and Rowe, maybe to deliver a headline grabbing fairytale ending to the Team Sky story from its rider who they stuck with through some very low points? https://www.afp.com/en/news/3955/rowe-fired-paris-roubaix-last-race-sky-shirt-doc-1fm3ns3

 

[chriscross1966]

Always felt that Rowe and Stannard would have a lot more Classics at any other team, Sky want their flat-land barndoor road captains in the right shape for the GT's ... this year it does look like they're having a crack.... which means we might go two years without anyone except Brits winning a GT cos anything that detracts from Skys/Ineos prep for the Giro with Bernal makes a Yates (either) win more likely....

 

[rich p]

Stuyven, Naesen, GVA

 

[roadrash]

Gaviria ...non starter...ill overnight
