Here are the final 14 kilometers of today's Tour of Flanders (the 100th edition). Incredible footage.
Addendum: Peter Sagan, the winner of today's race, covered the 158.4 miles in 6:10:37, which is an average speed of 25.65 miles per hour. Ten years ago today, the winner of the race was Tom Boonen, who covered 160.9 miles at an average speed of 25.11 miles per hour. Today, Boonen finished 15th, exactly one minute behind Sagan.
Addendum 2: There were 199 riders at the start of the race. Only 118 finished the race. Two of the starters—Taylor Phinney and Tyler Farrar—were Americans. Phinney finished 61st and Farrar 117th (next to last of those who finished). This is not a good time for American cycling.
