Are they letting Sky ride?

WCA you need new troll work. You are losing your touch.

Peter Sagan is who I am rooting for. But it looks like it may be wet and muddy which will reek havoc on the cobbles.

Sky will be in the race. Chris froome will not be though. Race does not suit his strengths. This race is where the big strong men show up and battle the cobblestones. Total length is 160 miles with 40 miles of cobblestone paths along the route

I thought the UCI put Sky under some type of probation? With the Wiggins and Froome allegations last month or so.

I like Sagan though just because he’s a guy who can climb sprint and lead out

Naw, this is cycling. QuikStep is probably the strongest team in the Spring classics.

No they are still trying to figure out what to do with Froome’s adverse analytical finding for salbutamol. I believe the only way they would keep sky out of the race is if they had 2 team members test positive for epo or something serious like that

When I originally read the story it sounded like WADA was going to go after Sky hard. WADA though is the most corrupt organization ever. They make FIFA and the IOC look ethical.

Sagan won! Good to see him get his first Paris Roubaix. Bold move for him to attack from 50k out but it stuck. Also chapeau to Dillier. Great ride for second.

I saw the last 5 minutes of the race but am trying to watch a re-run of the entire race now. I'm glad Sagan won.....that guy is a beast.
