Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) and Yves Lampaert (Etixx Quickstep) had left the grasp of the peloton and it was John Degenkolb (Giant Alpecin) that was the next to go off in search of glory in Roubaix. Degenkolb has been enjoying great form and some nice additions to his palmares in the early races of the 2015 ProTour season. This was one rider that the peloton wasn't going to be happy to let go.
