Wait, you got to go in the showers? Did the challenge sportive day before pro race this year and we were not allowed in the showers! Probably because there were several thousand of us! But we did get priority passes for the middle of the track day after and had an awesome day cheering Sagan over the line. With beer. Beautiful times.

Velodrome finish is a bit special. Especially when your big brother, whose arse you had literally dragged around the whole damn ride, plays possum in the last km only to try and take a jump on you as soon as you hit the boards, but then you get back on his wheel and then take him by half a wheel over the line. Can't buy that.

Them cobbles don't half hurt though.
