Milan San Remo looks dodgy after the winner Arnaud Demare deletes his data files amidst claims he took a tow from the team car, has to be investigated, he was on his last legs then all of a sudden a sprinter smashes an out and out climber on the Cipressa climb.

Lizzie Armistead & Peter Sagan win the Tour Of Flanders.  Sagan's classic line after the race "no one wanted to work with me, so it was best to just drop them"

Next up Paris Roubaix.

Sagen is class.  The talent to back up the cocky arrogance.

I rode Paris Roubaix today, bloody marvellous it was too.

Might be a wet one tomorrow it'll be carnage if it is.

Luke Rowe as an outside bet.

 Cracking race, I was hoping Tom Boonen would win but pipped at the post by Hayman.

I was hoping for Stannard!  What a finish in the velodrome, like a track race.

Not only did Cancellara fall off on the cobbles, he also fell off in the velodrome whilst showboating.

Liege - Bastogne - Liege April 24.  Fourth of the 5 Monuments

Can a Team Sky rider win a monument in 2016?  Fire up the Eurosport channel.


Yes they can, Wout Poels wins L-B-L in horrible conditions.

I watched a bit of this earlier. Indeed, it did look a bit crappy over there
