Paris - Roubaix 2022, one day monument, April 17

[Devil's Elbow]

I was oddly fascinated by Van Baarle for a while because for five consecutive years his CQ points points total only varied by 40. He was the epitome of consistency.

Has shown so much progression over the last 2-3 years. If the transfer rumours are true, Jumbo will have an insane classics squad next year.

He should just stay at Ineos imo. Jumbo have nothing to offer him he doesn't have yet except for doing work for Van Aert in his races.

 

[Didinho]

Wow really strong ride, chapeau

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Another year Wout van Hincapie doesn't win P-R

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Or more Covid

No PR during covid.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Van Baarle should not move to Jumbo because he’ll be relegated to working for Wout.

Decided by an echelon.
Doesn't sound bad, yet not completely false.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Entire race and week ruined by Brailsford peacocking at the finish line.

 

[topcat]

Nice to see Dave getting a win after all the lean years.

 

[jaylew]

He absolutely destroyed everyone. Put time into the chasing groups the whole way

i saw it... there were roadblocks all along the sector on the side asphalt part... yet Lampeart decided to ride there anyways. i blame him.

Roadblocks and the spectator was still close enough to hit him. It's on the spectator

 

[Tricycle Rider]

What a crazy race...

Chapeau van Baarle!

 

[Salvarani]

Great ride!

 

[titan31]

Mohoric ending up off the podium is dad. Puncture really fecked him. Good for WVA though considering the layoff

 

[CyclistAbi]

Why are spectators sometimes so dumb?

Lack of quality education.

 

[Peyroteo94]

WVA is just not good enough for roubaix or flandres. He is always the favourite but there is always a guy who can be stronger than him.

 

[Vesica]

Yes!!! So much deserved!

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

No PR during covid.

One year; the other was Mudfest 2021

 

[Mayomaniac]

The strongest guy won, well deserved!

 

[StryderHells]

Petit with his 3rd top 10 result in Roubaix.

 

[Salvarani]

WVA is just not good enough for roubaix or flandres. He is always the favourite but there is always a guy who can be stronger than him.

Cmon... he might not win it in his career, who knows, but to say he is not "good enough" is crazy.

 

[JosefK]

Just motoring away, the chasers by contrast all seem dead.

Be careful with terminology.

 

[fbjim]

See this is the dark side of Quick-Step sucking, you get a power void and suddenly these bastards think they're a classics team.

 

[glassmoon]

Roadblocks and the spectator was still close enough to hit him. It's on the spectator

disagree... it's on both of them imho. Yves should've stayed on the pavé and Opi should've payed more attention.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Appropriate I guess for After Dave to show his face again on Easter Sunday.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

WVA is just not good enough for roubaix or flandres. He is always the favourite but there is always a guy who can be stronger than him.

Haha. I mean he got second despite missing the last couple of weeks with Covid and 2 mechanicals. Being the favorite of course only means you have the highest odds of winning. The field always has higher odds.

Congratulations to Dylan van Baarle for winning the fastest ever edition of Paris-Roubaix.

It was a good race to watch. Personally i was hoping for van Aert and Mohorič to get in a breakaway and to fight it off for the win. But that's cycling and we love it.
