Completely against narrative, Froome is the only one of the fab four to have ridden Paris-Roubaix apparently.

DNF - Crashed into the back of the commissaire's car.

Oh boy, that's funny. Thanks Swifty for that one.

here's the article

Froome wasn't so lucky: "I didn't have any big expectations but I would have liked to finish. Unfortunately my race ended after I crashed into a commissaire's car. I had stopped to give my team leader (Baden Cooke) my wheel after he punctured before the forest of Arenberg. I was chasing back when the commissaire's car braked for a rider in front of them. I had to replace yet another wheel as I'd bent my front wheel when I crashed, by then the race had disappeared. I was riding toward the finish with Daryl Impey when the broom wagon picked us up." So he never made it to the infamous concrete showers.

I'm not sure how so many people don't like Sagan. Maybe because he is entertaining and if there were more like him cycling wouldn't be such a niche sport?

Anyway, I get the feeling that this will be an anti-climatic day
