114th Paris-Roubaix - UCI World Tour (10/4-2016)

Re:

Group Sagan/Cancellara is making up ground, about 45 seconds the gap.

It should all come back together when Martin is cooked. Sky and Lotto-NL need to really commit numbers to the front now, it'll be too late once Martin has gone. They need his power if the break is to stay away - should let him recover for 10 mins.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Stuyven reducing the gap to 45 seconds.

Even continental teams have more riders there. Where are Theuns, Stuyven...?

Both that and the fact that said teams seem unwilling to actually take part in the chase

Why should other teams help Sagan and Cancellara? They have to make the jump to Boonen group soon or the race is lost for them.

Well... If they don't have people out infront and aspire to win, surely the smart move would be to help, regardless of dragging Cancellara and Sagan along whilst doing so..

Re:

Stuyven saving Canc chances?

Gap is going down

Re: Re:

It feels like Martin has been riding for the last 100km.

He's such a beast, does he just not give a **** about races like this or why doesn't he ever go for the win himself?

He never tried before last years tour. Today he's doing what he has to do. If he keeps the gap long enough Eitxx is going to win this. Cancellara and Sagan are bringing Terpstra and Stybar back as well, if they come back at all.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Juraj Sagan to the rescue.

Gap going down, Stuyven doing a great job.

 

[rick james]

That will ruin your cleat

 

[kingjr]

about 43 seconds

 

[Brullnux]

Have to say Hatch and Kelly are a welcome improvement

 

[42x16ss]

Nice save by Stuyven!

 

[TMP402]

When people refer to "Sky" doing work, isn't it just van Poppel and, if they catch the breakaway, Puccio?

Re:

Surprise of the race.

Says a lot about Tinkoff when Juraj is the strongest team mate !

 

[burning]

Lotto is really weak as expected, Stuyven took quite a lot vs Wagner(?)

Pretty poor stuff from Sky. Four riders in the lead group - should be using at least two of them at the front now, because they won't be much use if Canc, Sagan, Stybar, Terpstra, Kristoff etc... all get back on. This break is their chance for a win; they should go all in for it now.

I thought Moscon was there as well. I think Sky have four riders, Stannard, Rowe, Van Poppel and Moscon, not entirely sure though

They only have Moscon to use. Puccio is ahead in the break.

EDIT - Van Poppel was dropped on the last section but might have made it back.

 

[Billie]

if Sky and Lottonl work it's: Tony, Wagner, Van Asbroeck, Wynants, Moscon and Van Poppel versus Stuyven. Quite obvious who would win that.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Tide turning again with the second group slightly coming back..wow

There are definitely four there - and they've sent one to the front. Good decision.

This is the crucial phase in the race. If the front peloton can maintain 45+ seconds while Canc and Sagan use up all their team-mates it should be decisive.
