Paris - Roubaix 2021 (03.10)

[Scarponi]

C’mon man, it’s not Gerransing it if you win a drenched Roubaix from a three man selection…

Are you telling me Gerrans riding 35m in the wind isn’t as tough as this children’s race!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

All in for Vermeersch

 

[Salvarani]

Magnus predicting sonny in a track sprint - MVDP is surely faster, especially at the end of a long hard race?

Toss up between them all who has the most left in the tank.

It is a one-off. The past or pure sprinting ability on paper matters not so much.

Cat +
Mouse +
Vermeersch

 

[Devil's Elbow]

No counter by VDP?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

No turns, Florian, do no turns.

 

[bigcog]

Colbrelli's to lose surely ?

 

[Izzyeviel]

ten riders left according to race centre.... whats the record for fewest finishers in a monument?

 

[Red Rick]

Van der Poel didn't look easy there at all

One of my favrouite moments in cycling... when the group know they're going to arrive at the velodrome together. There's an air of fatalism about it... like gladiators entering an arena knowing only one will survive.

And was able to register, please don't forget.

.. register, just to point out one sad fact: this forum is unfortunately full of haters.
Thanks you, bye.

Well, he tried

Colbrelli's to lose surely ?

You'd think, but they're all wrecked.

 

[Escarabajo]

Why is MVdP pulling????

Definitely this. Historic sprinting ability is less indicative than usual when it comes to a sprint after 260km of this. History would say Colbrelli would be the favourite, but it's nothing like as cut and dried as it would be in 'normal' race conditions.

Liked because I agree even though gladiators almost always survived

He hasn't the last 20 Km

I always wonder if the 2nd group will be coming in the velodrome just when the leading group is in the last lap and mess things up...

 

[Salvarani]

Lets go!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Vermeersch in a good spot

 

[Velolover2]

4th have always been the worst position to get.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

What a sprint that was.

It's always Sonny in Colbrellifornia!
