This was the fight for second.
Spokes can look so odd in a photo finish...............seems as though high speed photography could capture a moving spoke.

Except in the case of the finish line camera, it's a single vertical row of pixels, taking a ton of photos every seconds. So, the cyclists "scan" in front of it, rather then the camera doing the scanning. Note how the ground is white. That's the finish line over time.

Oh and if BMC had aero frames, they would have gotten second place.
Aero frames in Roubaix? Katusha and maybe some other teams were riding last years aluminium frames. Astana had Ambrosio Nemesis rims laced to 105 hubs. Compare that with a good carbon wheelset and you'll get the idea about advantages or what not.

Dude on the Colnago actually broke a few spokes during the ride, too. Hence his missing spokes.

If Ballan was shorter he would have gotten second place*

S.Turgot broke a spoke while touching Flecha's wheel during the sprint:
