I'm curious how Del Grosso will do here, first time in a protected role in a big race that suits him very well. We will probably already see some signs in Brabantse Pijl this Friday.

Wout's track record with Mathieu isn't particularly good 😉 he'd probably still manage to lose against him, somehow.

Don't agree. Sure, he might get dropped in the end, but this Van Aert shouldn't be afraid of Pog who wasted plenty of energy already. Not in Roubaix.

Had to make a surprise move, in which he succeeded.

Van Aert BAM. This is racing.

FFS Laporte, stop riding at the front and try an attack. Make Pog nervous. Hilarious.

No, but there was plenty of time for Pogacar to drop back in the group and have a talk with Vermeersch if he wanted to. I didn't see that happen once, which to me tells he was fine with it. Perhaps the goal was to keep Vermeersch relatively fresh between Molenberg and 2nd Kwaremont in case...

Pogacar didn't seem bothered about it not even a tiny bit, did he? I very much doubt Vermeersch went against team orders, although Vermeersch pulling less than Pogacar obviously didn't make sense to me either, but hey, it's 2026. Cycling laws are changing.

If 1 year is ancient history, then okay.

Because you won this particular race 3 times before, and you've beaten Pogacar head to head in the past.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he should play this differently.

MVDP is playing it perfectly.. He's doing the very minimum to keep Pogacar going.

Pogacar is playing around. He'll crush them all very soon.

Very minor backwheel slip there already from Evenepoel on the cobbles.

And can't help showing it to everyone. What a guy.
