Stijn Vandenbergh animated today's Paris-Roubaix as he launched a move with Bradley Wiggins that looked promising for a while.
"Today I felt good at the start and for the first part of the race," Vandenbergh said. "But in the last 30 kilometers I wasn't so good anymore. I had pain on my left hip, I think the second crash at Tour of Flanders last week caused me a bit of energy. My left hip hit the ground in that crash. Today that same area was really painful, so today I couldn't push 100 percent.
"But the moment I was in the breakaway I was riding in support of the team strategy. I think I did a good move for the team. The guys could sit on the wheels.
"As a team we did a great race. There was a lot of wind in the final. We tried to make the race hard, but people were always coming back, so it wasn't so easy with the weather conditions to make a gap or make a great action that really split up the race."
