He’s not bad on the ground. More reporting on Sir Brad’s whereabouts.

Gutted Turner didn’t get a top ten. Should be absolutely ecstatic with 11th in his first ride. What a monster

He's not bad in dutch as well. Few years ago he was still doing cycling commentary on regional tv in Limburg.

Wish you all a happy Classics season, as usual Ardennes can get tae fuck.

Nice story. Didn’t know.

Intermarche Wanty got six riders in the top 25. Fair play.

So many punctures. Are tubeless worse than tubs in this respect?

not a single DNF either

So what happened to Lewis Askey then?

He was riding on a flat for awhile and the rim finally failed.

I’d still always plump for Leclerc or Auchan if I’m honest. Lots are Intermarches were a bit run down and shabby. The equivalent of Morrisons or Asda in my ranking.

Anyway - that was the best PR since Hayman’s win. Couldn’t look away.

That was warm and dry too. Any of you wet Roubaix fans beginning to see a pattern yet?

Last year was pretty great wasn't it?

Fully on board that dry Roubaix is better. There’s more than enough peril.

It’s a good race, wet or dry.
Haven’t there only been two wet ones in ~20 years, hard to argue a pattern either way.

Dry = Better Race
Wet = Better entertain from suffering

I know. I’m gently trolling.

Ha I did suspect.
I certainly wouldn’t ride the mass event in the wet, Arenburg was carnage in ever so slightly damp from earlier in the week conditions

Wet = better photos

Dry = better exposure for sponsors

It's ROI that keeps me watching year after year.

wet = riders swallow cowshit. Everyone wears AG2R shorts
