Why would he, when Sagan had done exactly what Boonen had suggested, used his own team to keep him fresh & protected, attacked when he thought the time was right, didn't look to anyone for support & let his legs do the talking. It looked like Sagan learnt from Flanders & attacked when there were enough contenders still in the bunch that they hesitated & didn't work together to chase him.RonK wrote:Did Sagan tell Boonen where to stick his advice in the post race interview?
Awful news re Goolaerts, just 23.MichaelB wrote:EDIT : Just read that he passed away Sad news indeed.
Updates on Trentin ?
Last I heard on Trentin he had a fracture in his thoracic spine (ie where your ribs connect) but Mitchelton-Scott are describing it as could have been worse.

After winning the worlds twice, I think Sagan already knew that, and did not need gratuitous advice from Boonen.find_bruce wrote:Why would he, when Sagan had done exactly what Boonen had suggested, used his own team to keep him fresh & protected, attacked when he thought the time was right, didn't look to anyone for support & let his legs do the talking.

But he let his legs do the talking and achieved something that Boonen never did - win Paris - Roubaix in the rainbow jersey.
No doubt there are riders at Quickstep who wish Boonen had kept his mouth shut - eh Terpstra?

edit: Just found amateur footage of the crash. Nope, not the one I was thinking of.

I don't think Boonen will be losing any sleep over it as he looks at the 4 cobble trophies he has and Terpstra was pretty adamant that the best guy on the day won.RonK wrote:

I didn't watch it yet, that's incredibly sad news for Veranda's Willems Crelan team. RIP. 23 years old.MichaelB wrote:I'm ashamed to say it, I didn't last Hit the wall at about 70km to go, so I'll have to watch it tonight.
Well done for Sagan and Dillier - in the break all day and 2nd !! Shades of the ride at Flanders by Pedersen.
Looked like some nasty crashes -is Goolaerts recovering ? Sounds like he will be OK due to some quick treatment. EDIT : Just read that he passed away Sad news indeed.

Trouble is Sagan can add to his tally, and Boonen can't.Chuck wrote:

Wonder if Sagan's cobble has some rainbow stripes in the corner .....
Was actually thinking, if a Euro trip were able to be done, what would be better, Mountains or Cobbles ?
I'd seriously lean to the cobbles and do some of the Sportive rides (the short versions, anyway ..)

Dillier was incredible. It's nice to see a long-range breakaway rider getting some reward for effort and entertainment. I think everyone was waiting for him to crack for 40km, but he looked so calm.
Enjoying the 'discussion' between Sagan and Boonen. They're both right in their own ways, it's just good entertainment for me

I was agnostic on his ass grab and cheap papal visit. But I'm getting mighty tired of his goggles around the neck whenever there's a podium around.

I remember watching Denny Hulme's car coming to a halt on ConRod. By then he'd had a full career, Goolaerts was just starting out.French authorities do not yet have confirmation what caused his condition, but theorised that the cardiac arrest preceded his fall.

More on the investigation into Michael Goolaerts death:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/ ... is-roubaix
It's very tragic, but it's not unheard of, young elite sports people collapsing on field, heart attacks, etc. He died doing what I suppose he loved doing, riding bikes. He rode well in Flanders recently.

Of further interest now is what caused the heart failure.

Sagan was hoping for the 1, 2 and had a good effort but not the energy in the end which good for competition. Extreamly sad reflecting on the passing of Goolaert.
