Nothing to lose and everything to win

 

There is no final decision on Paris-Roubaix, however, Sports minister Roxana Maracineanu provided this update...

"Let it be clear that this is a department where the health status is problematic. There is no final decision, but perhaps the race will be postponed. The local prefect has already said there is a possibility of postponement."

Le Parisen said the race could be rescheduled potentially on Sunday, October 24 or Sunday, October 31.

Esteban Chaves put injury and illness problems behind him with a gratifying victory on the queen stage at Volta a Catalunya.

"It was a really long way, but I had nothing to lose and everything to win. I was ninth on the GC so there was nothing to lose there, and I just had to try.

It is incredible, it's like I said yesterday after these hard few months, few years, few months it's like everything, it's pay back, and it is a dream to start the season like this.

I showed myself I can do it and I just need to keep working, keep believing and keep dreaming."

Stage 4 results

Michael Woods finished seven seconds behind Chaves.

"Esteban Chaves proved to be too strong today. I felt way stronger than yesterday. Obviously, I would have rather sprinted for the victory, but I had good legs today.
