2018 Paris - Roubaix

[MartinGT]

No way is he getting pulled back

How boring have the cobbled classics been this season? A big name rider gets clear in the final 50km and everyone just looks around and lets them go. Bring on the Ardennes for some proper racing.

Devastating the field! :surprised:

Please no punctures...Please!

Game over? It might be the most fantastic win of the season.

Phinney has had a great showing, but he hasn't been a good teammate in terms of spending time closing the gap.

Re:

Approximately 2 seconds per kilometre. It's a good gap.

And just like that, now nearly 4 seconds per km to catch him.

 

[Lexman]

So EF Drapac deing a BMC, when will Phinney ride for Vanmarcke?

 

[Roude Leiw]

I hope for Dillier that they pull through, the guy is making a great race

Re:

Cancelleras secret. The swiss jersey gives magic powers.

Makes me wonder how many Swiss riders have won the Paris-Roubaix in the season where they were defending Swiss champions?

Its not over until its over.
Moreover, its better having a varied field than one guy winning everything. Meh...More boring!

Sagan doing at PR what Gilbert did at Flanders last year

At what point does Dillier stop working? Surely he needs to take a few km break before the Carrefour de l'Arbre.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Now drop him Peter

 

[Frankschleck]

Either Dillier is extremely confident, or very very stupid

 

[silvergrenade]

Peter actually waiting for him..lol

 

[Gigs_98]

Now there have to be attacks from the chasers. Vanmarcke and terpstra to go clear

 

[LaFlorecita]

I can't believe what I'm seeing

Proud moment for him in the limelight. Win or not. My thinking is he is all in until the end

Amstel was great last year but Ardennes have been very disappointing the last years.

Diller trying to stay in good favor with Sagan. "I'll keep taking pulls, just don't drop me yet"

Yeah different riders, but every race has followed pretty much the same formula. Almost no tension in the final 30km.

150k of real racing vs. 2k of real racing?
