Cycling moves from Flanders via Roubaix to the Ardennes as the team pick over the bones of another breathless few weeks of racing. Plus: we look back at some of the tech from Paris-Roubaix; could it also be the end of the rear wheel as we know it (?); why so meagre pickings for the winners of bike races and we remember Barry Hoban, trailblazer, legend and friend, who passed away this week.

Millar's team mate Julian Dean would narrowly miss out on the win, closing rapidly in the final but finishing second to Lampre's Alessandro Petacchi. The win was Petacchi's second of only 2 stage victories that year which would help him to winning the overall points classification, despite HTC Columbia’s Mark Cavendish winning 5.
