Paris - Roubaix 2021 (03.10)

[Samu Cuenca]

Bing Crosby: I'm dreaming of a wet Roubaix...

Or a wet crashfest

 

[Netserk]

Theuns and Kanter are back in the fold.

 

[Orbit501]

Van Lerberghe is the QS rider patrolling at the front, not letting Dillier get away.

Lesson learnt then

 

[Netserk]

Greg and Bjerg(?) with a gap.

EDIT: It was Bystrøm, but they are caught again.

 

[topcat]

I'm off fishing for the morning. I should be back in time for the boring sprint finish.

 

[Netserk]

Nothing sticks at the moment, even if there is plenty of activity.

 

[meat puppet]

Big split. Wind picked up I guess.

 

[Volderke]

Echelon alert!

"Also known simply as Fish".

You mean that all of these years we could have been talking Fish vs. The Shark?!

 

[Netserk]

The peloton has split in two, but it's getting back together now. EDIT: Not. Now a proper split.

 

[Gigs_98]

This will be beyond brutal

The obvious question is, which sector is it exactly that you are fishing from?

 

[gregrowlerson]

This will be beyond brutal

The kiss of death.

 

[Netserk]

They have a proper gap now, not many working in the peloton to keep things in check.

 

[Red Rick]

The kiss of death.

Do not despair.

@topcat on fishing duty is the new Gigs unable to watch.

 

[Netserk]

~35 riders in the front group.

 

[Volderke]

Too many riders in that front group that won't work though. Now depends on who is working in the peloton.

 

[Red Rick]

Van der Poel taking a comfort break.

Very surprised they're not all just pissing themselves in this race today

 

[Netserk]

Affini, Roosen, Van Hooydonk for Jumbo. Ballerini and Declercq for QS.

Trek is the only team pulling the peloton, the gap is going up.

 

[Orbit501]

3 stellar time trialists in this front group. Could be interesting.

 

[Samamba]

That's an insane break. Trek not happy

 

[Tobi]

Strong breakaway group
