    Gorgeous images, great writing. I have a dissenting opinion though, and thought the race lacking in the finale. What with them riding on the dirt and not the cobbles proper there wasn’t a great shattering at the carrefour. That plus no attack/counter attack in the final kms. Just Terpstra. I thought Wiggins could have gone after him at least. Then again that they may well have been all shattered would be quite understandable.

      yes agreed, that lot rolling into the velodrome would have been a sight for the ages. was weird that no one at all put in an attack at the end but, these are pros and that was PR, if they could have they would have. can;t have it all though i guess! thanks for the comment!

    You’ve read the race completely wrong. Neither Boonen’s nor Sagan’s attacks were serious. Entertaining read though.

      thanks for the comment Matt, i think tho that Boonen’s attitude at the end of the race was indicative that he wanted #5. Sagan had no one else to ride for.
