Rowe gutted after yet another frustrating outing in Paris-Roubaix
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Luke Rowe (Team Sky) was once again left cursing his luck after a second mechanical in the space of two weeks scuppered his chances of a top-10 in a Monument. In last week`s Tour of Flanders, Rowe was forced to change bikes just before a key climb, and in Sunday`s Paris-Roubaix the Welshman was left behind by a group competing for the top-10 when he encountered a problem with his chain just before the key sector of cobbles at Carrefour de l`Arbre. Rowe would eventually cross the line in 32nd place, well down on winner Philippe Gilbert (Deceuninck-QuickStep).ADVERTISEMENT Rowe`s performance epitomized Team Sky`s lackluster spring on the cobbles, with moments of promise - such as when Rowe attacked with around 80km to go - but ultimate disappointment. Dylan Van Baarle was the team`s best-placed finisher in Paris-Roubaix with 21st. `Dylan and I were in the front most of the day and time after time we put ourselves in the right position entering each cobbled section. We rode well together but it`s another shit and frustrating moment. Before Carrefour de l`Arbre I dropped my chain and had to fix it and then I was gone,` Rowe told Cyclingnews outside the Team Sky bus on Sunday. `It was another gutting day because I would have been there or thereabouts and racing behind the guys in front but I had to stop and see 30 guys ride away from me. It`s just frustrating. Shit day.` You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
