Paris-Tours used to be known as \u2018sprinters\u2019 classic\u2019, traditionally favoring the fast men. This year, however, a revised route was presented, featuring nine sections of gravel roads, meaning the classics specialists held the upper hand. Numerous punctures affected the race with some calling it a great spectacle, while others called it a mockery of cycling. Quick-Step Floors manager reportedly said it was the last time his team did the race. Is he in the right?
