I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
July 15th 2018 was a day to make Henri Desgrange proud of the classic bike race he created.
To say that the road conditions were rough, would be an under statement.
The French city of Roubaix would be the destination.
Some guys weren't going to make it though.
This race is a battle of attrition.
Body surfing asphalt was the order of the day.
Dust was a poor substitute for oxygen.
In the end, it would be the German rider, John Degenkolb, riding for the American team, Trek, that would be victorious.
He'll get some sleep tonight, and be back on his bike for the first alpine stage on Tuesday.
Rest assured, this classic bicycle race is alive and well.
Vive Le Tour de France!
