    That's some serious grimacing from Sagan.

    Greipel is with Boonen- but they are probably too far back with 12km to go

    Sean saying that he would fancy Stybar in a sprint ahead of GVA. I'm surprised by that.

    Sean is now calling the Quickstep rider 'Shteevun' a mixture of Stybar and Stuyven I think.

    Stybar as a CX rider would have a very good finishing kick; but in the velodrome all can change

    Langeveld could win this because GVA and Stybar are looking at each other the whole time.

    Chapeau GVA. Fully deserved on the day & on what he'd done coming into it. Glad Stybar didn't get it. They could have all looked pretty stupid if one of the 2 who caught them somehow had a big sprint left in the legs.

    Greipel got 7th, glad to see him get an admirable result like that.

    Punctured/Mechanical at the business end of the race, he had been motoring.

    3 sprinters in the top ten, they being Greips, Demare & Degenkolb.

    102 riders finished.

    Ryan Mullen came 50th, just under 10 minutes behind GVA. Nice job.

    Great days entertainment and racing. Who knows how far that sagan break could have went if not for the bike hassle. Greipal getting seventh was brillant. It's been great seeing him work for teammates in the last few years in cobble classics.

    Even the pros can get lost and end up on the motorway... :o:D

    http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/guardinis-paris-roubaix-ends-on-the-highway-and-the-police-station/
    Andrea Guardini explained what happened on Facebook, revealing that after pulling out of Paris-Roubaix at the second feed station, his UAE Team Emirates squad had advised him to ride to the finish. He tried to find the best route to Roubaix but ended up on the E23 motorway
