  It was definitely exciting but not the greatest race in my opinion. Mechanicals had a lot to do with the result and the race was basically decided by a crash. It was a weird start with not that much drive and fight to form the breakaway and team tactics and moves were pretty weak or non-existent at all.

  So, in the end Martin got real time on the line and actually drop a place in the GC. the spirit of the 3km rule is to save riders that are afected by crashes or mechanicals when these events are not their fault. Some cases where the rider is to "blame" are, for pragmatical reasons, i guess, also covered by the rule. But when you are on the attack in a rolling terrain and you crash, alone, it doesn't make much sense to apply the rule, even if you are in the last km. It's completely different from the situation where there's a big crash in the bunch in the last kms and you get stuck behind fallen riders, for example.

  Those motorbike riders were pretty good at taking that corner, probably fooled him into thinking it couldn’t be so difficult, notice how in comparison, MVDP looks like his bike had ABS. Tadej was close to staying on the bike but he kept hold of his front brake trying to come to a complete standstill, had he eased the pressure to let the wheel roll on a little he’d not have gone over.

  Always classy towards his rivals

  I’m surprised how well he reacted, not sure many others would have noticed something coming from that angle. Worse than the fact it actually hit his face (the throwing speed wasn’t that high but the impact of him arriving against it at almost 50km/h makes incredibly hard) is what it could have done if it had landed badly and made him crash and you see it almost slipped under his back wheel. I have seen a peleton spread over the floor from a loose bottle.

  Agreed. World champ and defending P-R champ shouldn’t be Wiebes super-domestique.

  That was a fantastic Paris Roubaix to watch! Mathieu and Tadej were very evenly matched, and in the end it came down to bike handling skills , and not too many can handle a bike quite like Mathieu can. Of course, he probably has every corner and every cobbled section of that route completely memorized by now! Big respect to Tadej for that massive effort, and for digging very deep when it surely looked as if he were bonking.
