    3 Sky riders at the front just before Mons-en-Pevele. Looks like they've got their timing right, better than last week

    Stannard looking great, but completely on his own. Pity.

    According to Sky it's true.

    #ParisRoubaix Rowe, Stannard and Wiggins all towards the front of the peloton as they hit Mons-en-Pévèle.

    My men from Robocyclo evident at 51.8 to go.

    Blydog? Did Wuyts really just call him Blydog?

    Vandenbergh goes on the attack, softening up the bunch.

    No he's not. Are you watching the race or just assuming?

    How can he screw up a solo attack? If there's a way to make I t work against his team, Vandenbergh will find it

    Stannard was doing a fair bit of work. But yes that was a shocker :oops:

    Everytime I see Arnaud Demare I just think about last year's Tour when he went for a poo in someone's camper van. Sagan could have done with a camper van earlier.

    Stijn Vandenbergh has just launched the race-winning move at Roubaix. But, given his tactical awareness, he'll place fourth.

    Ha ha ha! :D

    My missus has just stormed out of the room because she wants to watch a film and there's still 40k left in the race. WTF?

    I'll never understand women.

    I can think of a realistic scenario where Wiggins could win this? Could he ride away on a cobbled section? I'm thinking degenkolb or Sagan will win.
