Paris-Roubaix didn't happen for George, in spite of his riding so strong and aggressively. Bits of bad luck started with a team car being involved in a minor crash - cyclingnews.com said that the wrench who was driving was looking at attractive scenery (read females) instead of the road. Bet he got an earful about that! And then Max and Stijn crashed, so George was up front alone again. He held his own until 12 km out. He raced a good strong race, with good tactics.

Have not heard how Max and Stijn are - hope nothing serious from the crash.

It was a bummer that Museeuw flatted in the last kilometer, and lost his chance, since it was his last race before retirement. Another cyclist got caught up in a Flemish flag and had to untangle the flag out of his wheel - I think it was Hoste. People just don't think when they stick stuff out in the rider's faces, or try to slap them on the back, or run beside them. One word: Don't!
