Ahem: Not according to Cycling News
Edited highlights:
"The race was a mess. When I heard on the radio what was happening just with our riders, I could imagine what must be happening with the others - in my opinion this does not have a place in a Grand Tour,"
"It was completely different than in April because the field is so different. Also the wet roads made it very dangerous - the whole course was now dangerous."
"Also, on wet cobbles, it is very different, you cannot use a high cadence like when it's dry, which is how I like to do it."Sounds awfully like moaning to me.
Yeah, OK, an element of hyperbole there. But the shine of his previous achievements is being somewhat tarnished, for me at least, by his incessant whinging about pretty much everything. It's the fact that he's won Paris Roubaix three times that makes his moaning about the cobbles in the TdF so pathetic.
