Sagan and pals up to a minute's lead now, though the time gaps are oscillating so wildly I'm not entirely sure whether to trust them. Expect Sagan will make a big move to distance his companions on the Carrefour de l'Arbre if he hasn't got rid of them by then.

Always thought Sagan would never win Paris Roubaix, that the race didn't quite suit the way he deploys his power and he always gets heavily marked. He didn't really attack there, rather drifted off the front when GVA got brought back from a similar move and everyone let him go. Very impressive from Dillier to get second after being in the morning break. What a terrific race.

Awful news. Only 23.
Edit - just look at the kick he got out of the Ronde. This was his last tweet.

This sport can be so cruel, and also so wonderful.

I realise this is a rather dull administrative point, but I see Siskevicius is recorded on the result sheet as being an abandon rather than outside the time limit. That suggests he was so far behind they'd taken the finish equipment down, bit surprised he wasn't pulled out of the race on that basis.
Vuelta wild cards got announced this morning - Burgos BH, Caja Rural, Cofidis, Euskadi Murias. No place for Aqua Blue Sport on that basis even though they won a stage last year. Cofidis are there again mind despite the fact their most recent stage win in the race was Dani Navarro in 2014. I'm sure the fact that Cofidis sponsor the event as a whole is a complete coincidence.

Yeah, it's not an official finish for Siskevicius; I wonder if he can appeal that and get it changed to OTL? On route to the finish, he also had to take matters into his own hands to sort out a puncture.

The domestic road racing season has its first big event of 2018 this coming Sunday, with Lancashire's Chorley GP kicking off the Spring Cup (men only - boo, hiss to Chorley and/or British Cycling).

All indications are that Goolaerts went into cardiac arrest while on the bike and that it was the cause of the crash rather than the other way around.
He also seems to have never regained consciousness, so at least his suffering was minimal.
Cofidis' wide distribution of sponsorship Euros (races, adverts in the sporting press and on televised races, etc.) in France, Italy and Spain is not unrelated to their continued presence in the peloton.
