Paris-Roubaix was action packed, with the overall favourites all having a go. Niki Terpstra took advantage of a lull in the front group to power to victory, with John Degenkolb winning the sprint for second.
Was the Tour of the Basque Country a strong indication of who's who when it comes to the Grand Tours this year? Alberto Contador's form looks ominous for everyone else, and Alejandro Valverde started strongly before falling off the podium after the final time trial.
We also have footage from the first round of the MTB World Cup, plus news from the GP Pino Cerami and Circuit de la Sarthe.
