If you were in any doubt about how much of a team sport cycling is, then watch this video of BMC Racing's directeurs sportifs celebrating Greg Van Avermaet's Paris-Roubaix win.
Driving the car that had been following Van Avermaet and the other riders in the lead group towards the Roubaix velodrome, Fabio Baldato and Valerio Piva listen nervously to race radio, before erupted with joy as they hear that their man has crossed the line first.

After embracing his fellow DS and the mechanic in the back seat, Piva then leans on the horn as he drives towards the team bus, before pulling up, opening the door and continuing the celebrations outside.
Meanwhile Baldato looks like he needs to take a moment to let it all sink in, having a few seconds alone in the car, and taking a few deep breaths before getting out to join the celebrations.
