Paris-Roubaix Femme was stupendous today. Glad to see that the commenters under the video are no longer acting insulted by the mere existence of women's bike racing.

NOT a spoiler. Both events were amazing. Loved the attitude of the Canadian woman who won yesterday.

The final monument o the season, Liege Bastogne Liege, is in less than 2 weeks and looks like it will be a duel between Pogacar and Evenpoel. Something to look forward to.

Going to be good I hope. Rather not see another 30k solo effort unless it's someone other then the big three. Fleche should be interesting, positioning is important. Gotta question a friend asked me - Madous or Gaudu for a podium? I see talks of Landa but maybe that's too much fantasy. Woods has been real quiet I wonder what he could do?

For sure I actually caught the end. Just kept it cool while woodsie was pulling away. I got pretty excited to see Bardet have a go - I thought Bardet had it. Shame he had the door shut on him when he was accelerating.

Powless is having a G-like time of staying on his bike of late. I'd love to see the lad do even better so I may have to stop picking him.

He is. It's also nice that he can get time off from his usual weekend gig, leading a Thin Lizzy tribute band.
