Due to the cancellation, this means my season ends a week early. After this year overall I am not upset sorry to say.

I’ll bet it’s been exceptionally busy and stressful.

Enjoy the downtime.

Hey wtf? No Gent Wevelgem coverage, Paris Tours instead? First van Aert-van der Poel showdown!

It's wet, windy, slippery through the muddy farmland puddles.

Ryan Mullen just lost his front wheel on a gentle turn.

That was a breathtaking final hour!

Aaahh, one day when I'm big I will be a rouleur that can punch up the hellingen and sprint like a man possessed.

Thanks man, what a race.

 

Of course the stream died during the sprint, as Murphy will have it, but by then I knew Mads would win.

 

Bloody busy day, downhill, giro, GW, Paris Tours, shoo.

Quite an emotional Mark Cavendish after the race..shame I've never been a fan but that was sad.. he's always worn his heart on his sleeve..

LOL I see Van Aert is upset....this my dear Wout is how it goes when you are a favourite..

Sad indeed. I always enjoyed to watch him.. ... he was probably an overachiever who never held anything back.

He can go sit at Sagz Baby’s feet and learn about the burden of being the favourite. I would guess that the two silvers at Worlds would still be a painful memory for the Belgian.

That last 2kms with WvA and MVDP just marking each other out of the race was just painful to watch.

If nobody wants to work with you then give it a go by yourself and maybe you’ll win rather than just watching others ride off and making sure you don’t win; surely a chance of winning is better than no chance of winning.

Yep, striking similarities to when Sagan was considered the biggest threat, except now there's two of them...

 

Sagan's biggest wins IMHO was when he went alone from the group of favourites: Flanders + Roubaix

 

Either one of these two will need to go for it from way out to stand a chance...
