Paris-Roubaix logo.pngTom Pidcock becomes third GB winner of Paris-Roubaix Juniors
Tom Pidcock has become just the third British rider to win the junior version of Paris-Roubaix.
The 17-year-old from Yorkshire follows Geraint Thomas, who triumphed in 2004, and Andy Fenn, winner in 2008.
Today, he caught a breakaway group on the Carrefour de l’Arbre pavé sector and rode away to victory inside Roubaix’s historic velodrome.

The British Cycling Junior Academy rider crossed the line alone at the end of the 111-kilometre race, which included 16 sectors of pavé.
It’s the youngster’s second big win in 2017.
In February, Pidcock added the junior version of the rainbow jersey at the World Cyclo-cross Championships to his existing British and European titles.

I used to cycle to school in the suburbs with those. They were useless....
Joking aside, governments could require new cars to be fitted with smart ignition systems that operate only for a licensed driver. No doubt there...
It sounds like a question from Ian Walker's motornormativity paper. Is it OK to dismember a (car|bike) when it is left in an inconvenient location?

A SuperSix is definitely not an all-rounder....
Just get them to walk a treadmill - or better, ride exercise bikes to power path lighting.
