Paris - Roubaix 2021 (03.10)

[DenisMenchov]

Peloton is non existent right now. How do they plan to catch the break?

Barely any doms left.

 

[Salvarani]

Gaps in peloton group getting away, we didnt get to watch how it happened

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

There is no peloton left...if any of the favorites are going to win, they'd better make their way to the front now.

 

[Red Rick]

Van der Poel and Van Aert starting to move.

"Oi mate it's just 2 weeks of CX in one day"

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Good luck chasing a similarly sized group almost 3 minutes up the road.

"Oi mate it's just 2 weeks of CX in one day"

Anyway, none of them very eager to pull.

 

[Scarponi]

Feed cut out in Australia

 

[titan31]

A good bit of this will be up to WVA since he has teammates up ahead who can work. Might be a case that they need to drop back though at the gap we have.

 

[noob]

As a younger bloke who has never seen a wet Roubaix this is insanity

same! not young, but never watched it and it's complete insanity!

 

[Salvarani]

Vermeersch looking strong

 

[Volderke]

Vermeersch and eekhoff alone after Waldscheid crashed?

 

[Red Rick]

This is the first time in Luke Rowe's life he's paced a group with another objective than letting the peloton fall 15 minutes behind a mountain breakaway

 

[Norbea]

van Asbroek fixing his bike with an umbraco while riding on the cobles. MacGyver can't do that.

 

[SafeBet]

Impossible to keep track of what's happening but one thing is very clear to me: anybody who didn't at least try to get in the break this morning made a mistake.

I don't know what DQS and Jumbo strategy is at this point.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Laughing at all the Helen Lovejoys speaking against this awesome thing on Twitter this week.

Won't somebody think of the washing machines?!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is the first time in Luke Rowe's life he's paced a group with another objective than letting the peloton fall 15 minutes behind a mountain breakaway

Tbf I remember previous Roubaixes where he was very active, including the one where he crashed by somersaulting.

 

[limak_]

Have been wondering.. It's safer to ride not in the middle on those wet cobbles, but on the sides of the road, through the pools, right?

Walscheid was an example of this.

 

[titan31]

Eekhoff must just be surviving in that front group as hes doing no work

 

[Salvarani]

A long way to go....

I don't know what DQS and Jumbo strategy is at this point.

Especially after seeing the womens race.

If I were Van Aert or VdP I would just talk to the other and try to come to an agreement to see if we can take off

 

[Tobi]

This is already an amazing race

 

[BlueRoads]

It's a spectacle, but not really a bike race anymore.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Now this is what I wanted from an epic Paris-Roubaix!

 

[perico]

Total carnage- and I’m just talking about watching the American feed and listening to Liggett trying to identify all the riders.

I’m actually happy to have him on with Bob commercial feed. I couldn’t handle more of the world feed with McKrossin (I forget the correct spelling) and Walker

 

[SafeBet]

Florian Vermeersch finally showing his huge engine this year.
