    Remember Hoste et al getting dq'd for that in the final?

    Given the difficulty of identifying the riders I think heavy fining would be appropriate. Easy to identify the teams at fault.

    Please tell me if I'm being far too sensible but surely the barriers at the crossings should be the full width of the road? Your always going to get riders dodging round the half barrier if its a possibility.

    I think Bernie's been helped to get back by the train. His beard of power calling on other forces to aid his return.

    In fairness, some riders should definitely be dq'd for that. Some seriously stupid moves there by some riders. A few of them almost crashed. Imagine if they did?

    Oh my. I agree with Cancellara's complaining?! I must be getting old.

    Thomas down. Not holding his line

    Thomas fails to bunny hop curb.

    Most of the peloton should be dq'd and paris Roubaix race jury has precedent.

    But they won't cos that would be rubbish.

    Fair enough. But the bad publicity the race and sport would get from a rider getting killed by a train surely warrants a bit of cash to be spent at those areas. There can't be the many double crossings in the race?
