Another note about Intermarché: they had 6 of their 7 riders finish in the top 25, with the seventh still in the top 60. With that mix of results they managed to accumulate 593 total UCI points at Paris-Roubaix, best of all teams even Ineos.

Yves Lampaert did a great job when crashing after the spectator hit his handlebar/brake lever. He delayed the crash as long as he could which enabled him to slow down a bit and manage to roll over the ground instead of hitting it very hard. I couldn't even make out any damage to his jersey or skin. Pretty sure it hurt a lot but he could have broken some bones here.

Not sure if it would've been a race winner. It felt to me as if Van Baarle was the strongest man in the race. Even when Van Aert & Kung were chasing full gas with just the 2 of em they weren't making up any ground on a solo riding Van Baarle. But I do agree, Wout wasted a lot of energy in that 40-30km to go phase. But imo it's a bit what he always does: he's too eager to respond to every move and I think his direct opponents know this very well. Imo, he has to learn to sometimes gamble & stick with the gamble, he might lose a race or 2 because of it but in the long run he won't be the one closing every gap in every race with the same riders just sitting on every time. It's hard to say however what it would've been like if hadn't suffered that mechanical in Arenberg which made for 2 bike swaps (taking Roosen's bike and then switching back to his own bike). If he can save the energy he puts into getting back on there it might have been a different story.

@pomonoli

Yeah even if Van Baarle was extremely strong, if Wout had a big enough gap the chasers would probably be looking at each other and fight for 2nd place. Maybe Van Baarle could break and catch up, doubt he'd win the sprint, but WvA wouldn't have been worse off than 2nd place.

Amazing recap. Loved all the captions too, 2:27 Dennis Rodman fan haha

Went out this Sunday with 35 km hr cross winds on 60 mm wheels a nightmare as every 20 seconds unless you had strong arms you would of crashed at 50km hr. This angled wind was pushing you forward but also taking out your front wheel. So went home and brought out my old 15 kg road bike, no problems at all.

I thought after last year's mud-bowl I'd never see such an incredible race. But then this, 165 miles at something like 30 mph average speed? Superhuman performance. And hats off to Pinchon/Devrient for riding right on the freakin' edge from about the 80 km point to the finish. Don't know if anybody else caught Phil Liggett's disparaging remark about Pinchon and Arkea-Samsic (only 2 wins in a very long career and riding for a second-rate team) but, if you lined up to start this race, you've got some guts. And if you simply finished it, bravo. Pinchon landed a #8 finish--just unreal.

Great review there 👏🏻 😍

Gent-Wevelgem 2015, storm edition, is my all-time favorite race, but Paris-Roubaix is the best race on the calendar, with the most editions in my top favorite races. The only thing I may have missed this year was suspense towards the end, but everyone was so exhausted that the rider who had the most strength left from strong legs, riding smart and being spared bad luck, drove away from everything and everyone and he (van Baarle) became the deserved winner. Unfortunately no West Flemish rider on the podium. Lampaert's crash that led to cursing throughout Belgium and far beyond, and afterwards the narrow fourth place for revelation Devriendt.

That was a great race!!!

Great work breaking that down, must be a hell of an effort from your end. What a race - we have been spoilt this year.
