Nice spot! 
Within the last weeks, I start to dislike Sagan, so I can now actually enjoy this in an evil way.

Oh come on! I just can't stop laughing at this, Sagan's face in the last photo says it all 
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

That's the real reason why he sulked all the way to the finish

Another view of the crash, where it's shown clearly that is the jacket

Real men ride properly on the cobbles. Real men don't crash on jackets

Dunno. Sure the jacket shouldn't be there and he is touched by it and it swings along, but it also shows he hits the barrier due to him being so close to it in the first place.
That said, not really important to me.

Based on the results of the TDF Ventoux stage, Sagan and Naesen should be awarded 5th place here, no?
Quite happy to see Gilbert win that though Really like him as a rider, anybody willing to make a gutsy attack like that rather than waiting like GVA and Sagan deserves to win Roubaix. Plus I really find myself not liking Sagan after GW.

Whole shot is brilliant, pure meme material

Exactly my point and you are 100% correct. But Avin chose to ignore that and post a silly meme instead. Frustrated by Sagan's lack of fortune, Avin? Is it getting to you? |

Or let him rephrase it, its actually not bad luck, more him being nonchalant (especially at his positioning) and, I think, letting the pressure get to him a bit.
He is now left with K-B-K and the race that suits him the least. Must suck quite a bit, lets hope he is angry and will be looking to animate the race, Sagan is better that way than playing risky positioning poker and catch-up all the time. |

Gilbert just confirmed he's not riding Roubaix

Damn Sunday is gonna be emotional. #OneMoreTom. Ronde was already quite emotional. Most fans Ive seen on Kwaremont and Pater since the new route was introduced.
Best form since 2012 for sure, no injuries or big crashes in pre season and GVA and Sagan not as strong at Roubaix. Different game.
As for Phil. He's in the 2011 form for sure. Maybe hes gonna do a tilt at MSR and Roubaix next year for the "Career Slam". Valv vs Phil is gonna be insane at LBL this year. |

Gilbert will be going for the Ardennes where he'll have a better chance in this form. Doubt he'll win all 3 again but surely he's very short odds to win at least one in the form he's in.
QS have Boonen, Terpstra, Gaviria, Stybar (What's happened to him this year) etc so Gilbert too would be overkill. Even Kittel is an outside shout at Roubaix (I'm assuming he's riding).

Gaviria is not riding 100% Hes back in colombia preparing for Giro. Do not sleep on Lampaert though. Hes made for Roubaix
QST team for Roubaix will be:
Tommeke
Terpstra
Lampaert
Trentin
Stybar
Keisse
Martinelli

Valgren for Rubaix I'm 96 percent sure he'll finish top 5

I'd be impressed, since he's riding in Pais Vasco atm and isn't on the PCS startlist for Roubaix

Wait and see. What a debut he had for Vlaandern 
He is one for the future, and the future is now
