    I wanted Stybar to win but fair play to Degenkolb. He's so strong this year. Milan San Remo and Roubaix in the same year. Chapeau.

    Starting to thoroughly dislike QuickStep.

    Glad Degenkolb won it.

    For all tne hoo-hah, not even the best placed of his team ... Wiggins is a honorary Schleck!

    Degenkolb would not have got that without my man Bert De Backer.

    Give over, nothing wrong with trying and coming up short.

    In fairness, De Backer did an awesome pull.

    John is going to need all that Alpecin, looks like he's lost more hair every time he takes his helmet off.

    Yet another win for the High Road alumni ... How they never managed to get a sponsor baffles me.

    There's just enough there to keep him going until he moves to Quick Step.

    In all seriousness, good ride from Degenkolb, good ride. Chapeau.

    Great win by Degenkolb, great race.

    The sniping at Wiggins says much more about the people doing it than it does him

    I'm telling you. He is going to go very close in MSR and Flanders.

    I wrote that back in early February about Degenkolb. Just needed to switch Flanders with Roubaix.

    First Kristoff now Degenkolb, have these sprinters no respect, attacking from far out and winning form a small group?

    They can't take the usual Propecia as finasteride, the active ingredient, is on the banned list. Its used to mask testosterone use.

    I see idiots calling him the 'worst Tour winner', a phrase which belongs alongside 'thickest Nobel Prize winner' and 'poorest Oligarch'

    Luke Rowe only 28 seconds off the winner of Paris Roubaix. He looked completely at home on the cobbles.

    Oh come on Iain. You gave RVV 5/10. This was much better. Lots of confusion, lots of intrigue, lots of comings and goings..
