Paris - Roubaix 2021 (03.10)

[titan31]

Arenberg is going to be horrific based on this sector.

 

[Salvarani]

This supposed to be one of the easiest...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Arenberg is going to be horrific based on this sector.

It's mainly the curves that look problematic so Arenberg probably won't be the worst.

 

[Samamba]

Look what's left of the bunch after 1 sector

 

[Salvarani]

Yeah... it will be difficult to reel everyone back from this front group. Someone is bound to have a great race.

 

[Volderke]

The peloton should reduce the gap by a minute at Wallers, or it will be a free-for-all in the front group.

 

[Netserk]

I think it will split more after these two upcoming sectors.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This is like that final dust up at the end of Lord of the Rings

 

[gregrowlerson]

For what's supposed to be an epic edition, this is a very un-epic edition. Where's the action? Where's the wind? Where's the mud? Hell, even the cobbles are non-muddy! I want epicness!

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

 

[Salvarani]

De Clercq struggling

 

[RedheadDane]

It's not but even outside of a race travelling by it, I'd park it in a safer location and walk to the house. I'd definitely have moved it for today as the chances of someone smashing into it increased.

Isn't it illegal to park on corners? Is around here...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is totally going to the breakaway at this rate.

 

[BlueRoads]

I think de Gendt will be a good commentator.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Sector 15:

@topcat where is your rod?

 

[BlueRoads]

Please not Moscon. Please not Moscon.

And why is it Philipsen in that group? Why not Merlier?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Maybe that's where @topcat will be fishing from?

Whoops, this is what happens when you lose contact with the thread peloton!

 

[JosefK]

This is totally going to the breakaway at this rate.

In the bag for someone in the front group. Out of the bag for everyone else.

 

[Salvarani]

It is muddy!

 

[Netserk]

Let's hope Moscon will have better luck with the mud than in 2016.

 

[gregrowlerson]

It's mainly the curves that look problematic so Arenberg probably won't be the worst.

Yep, if there weren't any curves then most men would stay out of trouble

 

[Salvarani]

Politt far back

 

[Netserk]

Politt behind the bunch.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

You just can't predict which of the usual names can also do it when it's wet. Polity evidently can't at all, was in trouble after the first sector too.

 

[bigcog]

This is going to be epic

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wow...woke up just in time to see the first secton of cobbles...this is going to be brutal!! Saw a flat...if the TSF tweet yesterday was correct, nobody on tubeless had a flat, so anything but tubless is incompetence IMO. Looks like there might be some incompetence happening...
