2nd Paris-Roubaix Femmes, April 16th, 2022

[Salvarani]

Go ELB!

 

[JosefK]

ELB making a big move.

 

[Netserk]

Race winning move, it seems.

 

[Põhja Konn]

It is what is.

I feel like it was a 50/50. They gambled a bit too much and unnecessary at this point in the race to try and cross lines. The car was going pretty fast... look at how they gaining on the riders on the right in the clip.

You beat me to it. The speed of the tow was the issue here, rather than the lenght of the sticky bottle. She took too much of an advantage from it, at least for the comissaires liking.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

Maybe not the most egregious example, but glad to see that sticky bottles will be penalised. Riders demonstrate in every race their ability to snatch a bottle at speed from someone at the roadside, so no reason for it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It's not over yet.

 

[KZD]

Longo Borghini is doing a great race but that motorbike is too close to her

 

[Netserk]

From the heli, I've only seen it as close to her as the other one is to the chasers.

 

[Netserk]

It's looking really good now. Chasers are caught by the peloton.

 

[postmanhat]

G2 give up. Will give ELB a few more seconds as the chase restablishes itself.

agree... but it's the balant inconsistency the refs are showing that angers me though

 

[Netserk]

From the heli, I've only seen it as close to her as the other one is to the chasers.

And now it's behind her. Which is far worse, as it has to be in front of the chasers.

 

[Salvarani]

ELB that was crazy... to stay on the bike

 

[glassmoon]

wow elb drifting... unox duo down.

 

[StryderHells]

This is a good bike race

 

[JosefK]

Cobbled road kicking butt and taking names.

 

[JosefK]

The tenacity of ELB.

 

[glassmoon]

Carrefour next?

 

[KZD]

25 seconds, unless something happens in Carrefour de l'Arbre she will win

 

[Libertine Seguros]

ELB cannot outsprint anybody so she must finish solo, and she tries relentlessly to make sure every race she has a chance of winning ends with her solo.

This is why we should prize riders like ELB.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A shame that FDJ and DSM weren't willing to help SD Worx when they had the gap.

 

[StryderHells]

ELB has this

 

[Ilmaestro99]

She has a good gap for 15km left

 

[Netserk]

The chasers should stall a bit after the cobbles.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Kopecky riding away from the chase?
