Paris - Roubaix: Degenkolb King of the Cobbles

De Brabantse Pijl is just around the corner, but if I'm quick, we can get the Paris-Roubaix report taken care of. Without Cancellara and Boonen, it was left to a new crop of riders to liven up the race and they didn't disappoint. Alexander Kristoff was finally kicked off the top step of the podium by the Giant-Alpecin's other superstar-sprinter, John Degenkolb, who rode hard and smart to take his second classics win of the season.

Peter Sagan failed to make an impression once again. He seemed to have some mechanical trouble, but I don't think Oleg Tinkov will be in any mood to hear his excuses. If he doesn't get a win for his new team soon, I think Sagan might come down with a case of Polonium poisoning. He already seems to be suffering from some intestinal distress.

Bradley Wiggins had a bit of a go in his last race with Team Sky, but it wasn't enough to secure a fairytale ending. Oh well Bradley, there's always the Tour de Yorkshire.

And last but not least, lets give a shout-out to Pippo Pozzato, who didn't do shit at Roubaix, but true to form, did show up doing a delusional interview in CyclingNews last week.

Apart from Degenkolb, the other King of the Cobbles were the Kloefekappers FC.

 It's probably too late to remind you, but you're going to have to use up some of your transfers if you want to score any points in the upcoming races. As we head into the Ardennes you'll need less Rouleurs and more Puncheurs. I've made a few changes to the Bile Beans, but I've got some work to do if I want to get ahead of the Enrico 666 and the Kloefekappers.
