    Sorry Cranky, I got diverted by what sometimes happens after breakfast.
    And thanks Thom-Thom for the profile and the sectors of Pavé.

    ROUTE MAP:

    14033132081-streckenverlauf-paris---roubaix-2014.jpg

    The main peloton is now through the 4th sector of Pavé, no. 25 on the map, Belkin and Trek prominent at the front.
    Demare has had a puncture in this sector.
    Boonen is a little back, having punctured in sector 26.
    The break is now only about 6-30 ahead, having lost a minute.

    Please accept my sincere condolences.

    Disaster averted. I've got me Sporza :D

    This is not the weekend to be away from my sofa and my large TV with the choice of Sporza or Eurosport.

    Quick someone tell Cranky to avert his eyes and close his ears, Sir Wiggins is the topic of discussion...

    ES are having a Flecha/Canc love in at the moment...(which is good to be fair)

    Flecha does seem like a genuinely nice guy and very well liked.

    The break is past sector 23.
    Further back, Demare has now crashed – not his day so far.

    Wiggo admits to Flecha that he's "pretty much" written off the whole of the rest of the season off in favour of today

    Kelly 'on other duties'. Yep, probably loads more important stuff to do than this. Filing at ES HQ I expect.
