Looks like VDB has about 10 seconds and holding. Not sure that's going to do it.

Re:

Even in Roubaix almost everybody waits until the last possible minute to attack. Embarrasing really.

Give it over. Nobody want to hear your moaning.

 

[Lexman]

hahaha, french eurosport after the action by Offredo for Demare : FDJ puts it mark on the final of Paris - Roubaix....

chauvinist people those frenchies...

Re: Re:

Is that Offredo riding for Demare?

yes...........

Good to see the two of them going well, but the peloton is ridiculously big still

 

[doperhopper]

the protest signs look like something against high-voltage electrical line from nuclear power plant (googled RTE STOP THT NON, my french is not that good to decipher details)

 

[Jelantik]

the group is still too big...

 

[sir fly]

I thought the winning split would occur by now.
Maybe it did, who knows...
Conservative race. With the speed and wind it's not unexpected.

 

[samhocking]

Really impressed with Rowe in the classics so far. Always looks solid, reads the moves well and empties himself willingly for the team.

 

[Campervan man]

Yea peloton is still way to big as soon as they get within touching distance of lead group we should see big attacks.

 

[mrhender]

Lars Bak doing his TDF move....

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Demare... wow FDJ did all that work for nothing

 

[Flamin]

LOL Bak doing the exact same thing as in the cobbled stage in the Tour last year

 

[goggalor]

Gap to break is holding for both VDB and peloton...

Aaaaand Demare punctures. Sigh.

 

[thrawn]

Poor Demare. That'll be his race done.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Well, if a month ago everyone agreed Démare was the unluckiest rider of the last 2 years, what to say now?

 

[Roude Leiw]

Demare is one of the most unlucky ones in this classics season

Re:

Nothing happens in this race.

It is. Wind is high. A good group holding their gap to the stars. Meanwhile the main group wants to leave them out there just far enough.

Sir Brad's made it < 40K.

Vandenburg closed the gap. Uh oh.

Well, it'd be hard to beat Dan Martin last year

 

[luckyboy]

Demare should be disqualified anyway.

 

[trevim]

Is Lotto trying to lead out Debusschere or what? Why do they keep pulling?

 

[thequestionmark]

20 seconds for Vandenbergh

Re:

I heard twitter rumors that the commissars were going to do just that. Who knows.

They should be saving Greipel at this stage, not putting him on the front. With 35km to go, he could be a real contender.

Re:

That work was always going to be for nothing.

 

[goggalor]

Lotto, Lotto, BMC and Giant going away is bad news for the rest of the peloton.
