Still buzzing from that amazing race, very deserved winner. With the notable exceptions of Sagan and Canc it was such an elite, tough group that formed at the head of the race. I had a feeling about Hayman, such a smooth rider over cobbles. I remember the year he got into the break for Sky, 2013 I think, and he just looked so good, but he didn't have the team behind him. Geraint crashed and it was all that she wrote, but he showed today what he could do, finally at 35! I said earlier today Sky should have built their classics squad around him.
I wonder what might have happened without the crashes, Sky looked insanely strong before two riders went down, and then the Canc crash effectively took out both him and Sagan out of the reckoning, but then that's racing. Farewell the cobbles, I'll miss ya
