In a somewhat desperate attempt to force a narrative for this week's show we have noticed some parallels with yesterday's rather disappointing 'Hell of the North' Paris-Roubaix (not that this week's show will be disappointing - Ed) in as far as Family Tree is also missing some of our big hitters to provide any competition.
Breakaway rider and all round team fluffer Matt is currently away trying to accumulate as many happy finishes as he can muster whilst avoiding roots in the tarmac and broken collar bones but thankfully he is set to return next week once he has been re-lubed and recalibrated.
So with this in mind we have had a team reshuffle and selected Ben 'Van de' Arnold to send up the road and fly over the cobbles. Just beware of people throwing hats in your spokes Ben! Allez allez!
