Why? Its better to have them in one place. I had to create a separate thread for it.

Luck factor is also important in Paris Roubaix. If Pogacar is among top2 frontrunners he gives himself a chance to benefit from it and win. I regard this scenario more likely than simply outmuscling MVP on the cobbles, it's happened many times in this race.

I disagree. PR has no single climb and MVP is a monster on cobbles as well as in a sprint. It will be much more difficult to drop him here than on flandrien bergs. As for LBL its Pogacar's terrain. Even if Evenepoel and Seixas somehow get very close Pogacar can count on his sprint. I do think...

So today Teddy will try to win the fifth consecutive monument making history and making the forum experts the happiest people on Earth!

So Seixas wins his 3rd stage. What a race by him. Lipo held on this time while Romo...man of the day, no?

Gold! Lets hope our Robespierre's reign will be peaceful and just. Oh wait...

Again big difference flat vs uphill and we saw how important drafting was for MVP during Flandres. Pogacar will be very strong but MVP engine on flat cobbles is too much. BTW I dont think MVP will drop Pogacar either. Then again its Roubaix so they can be separated in another way (crash or flat...

Brute force defeated by Lo Squalo, who's retired unfortunately.

To me Van der Poel level looked good enough vs Pogacar on cobbled bergs to think he shouldnt be dropped on flat cobbles (which makes him #1 favourite due to his sprint). He lost more time only when he was dropped (he was more tired after repeated uphill efforts).

Too Red Rick, dont do anything stupid if Teddy somehow wins PR. Top experts are needed on this forum.

Will Pogi complete non calendar monuments slam? Will Van der Poel win record equalling 4th edition? Will Van Aert, Pedersen or another rider win his first cobbled monument? Let the world's greatest cycling experts have their say.

Well, he's definitely a level above the rest of strong stage racers. Strade was a good comparison since Seixas produced outrageous watts already in Drome in February. It seems the 3rd stage racing monster appeared so the rest will need some luck to get the Tour podium. Seixas will win the Tour...

Pogi should be a monster dom, that I can tell you. Vermeersch's only job is not to get dropped by Pogi and he wins.

Oh man, how terrible those 3-week monuments were!

Yesterdays ride suggests he's the opposite of a defensive rider.
