Is this not the most iconic image of all that is Paris Roubaix? As Phil Liggett and Bob Roll commented on the race, one of their main difficulties was figuring out who was who the more the riders got caked with mud. This is yet another title that is a bit of a play on words. First it was very difficult to tell who was who, and these three men, Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Victorious), Matthieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Felix), and just peaking over their shoulders, Florian Vermeersch (Lotto Sousa) were looking to be the who’s who of this Paris Roubaix. The trio caught and dispatched Gianni Moscon on the fabled Carrefour de l’Arbre and were now vying to find their places on the podium. The fans crowded the course as they too tried to make out just who was their man for the race.
