Paris - Roubaix 2022, one day monument, April 17

[Unchained]

Strongest team today for me is INEOS

Maybe Van Baarle has a chance if the others are controlled ?

Aawesome prediction

Anyone checked on Blythe see if he is ok after the Turner crash?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Awesome race today! Congratulations to Van Baarle and kudos to Ineos who made the race and once again showed that they're the most entertaining team out there.

Laporte was so strong he broke his carbon wheels

Last year he had to brake with his foot, this time he was riding with unicycle. What do you guys think will happen to him next year? Some spectator just yeet him of the bike and stole it?

And to Van Aert and his squad overcoming gaps and flats. Tough and fast day.

Recorded the final 40 km and just watched them. Great race and super deserving winner. What a monstrous ride by Van Baarle.

Ride of the day came from Mohoric though. I really wonder what had happened without his mechanical. Even if he had been caught it likely would have happened later and I think there's a very real chance he still would have been there with Van Baarle after CdA. I don't think he would have won either way but I wouldn't rule it out and man what a win that would have been. Then again it's nice to see a small cycling nation like the Netherlands stealing a win from the mighty Slovenians once in a while.

That one is also a bit of the riders fault, ride on the cobbles and this won't happen. The spectator wasn't that reckless.
I kinda feel bad for Ballerini, without that puncture at the start of the forest he could have been fighting for a podium spot.

Yah, because he's the only racer who ever used the gutter, right?

I think the GCN editor must have had a word as he hardly mentioned him at all today. Another good ride though.

I think they had a word with him and hooked him for the last hour as he was shocking today.

No doubt Turner is a real talent.

Recording Roubaix and watching the last 40 km, what you on about, the race is almost over at that point!

I tuned in with 140 km to go today and felt like I missed a bunch! Classic Roubaix lads.

 

[Andy262]

Petit with his 3rd top 10 result in Roubaix.

Great performance by Intermarche. 6 in the first 23! They are surfing confidence this season.

I'm away from home and haven't watched the race properly yet, but looking forward to it later this week.

Grenadiers Cycling Network actually thought Adam "I'm mates with these guys don't you know" Blythe needed reining in?!

No no, I didn't start watching at that point. I had to have easter coffee with my family (super annoying, I know) so I couldn't continue watching live with 40 k to go. Hence I pressed the record button and continued to watch later.

Don't think that badly of me.

Okay, thats acceptable, although you could argue real fans would call your momma, fake a sneeze and pretend to be sick.

Good to have you back... and you didnt even spoil the race!

And the crazy crash by Lamparts, caused by hitting a spectator

Maybe but I do think that it happened due to my pet hate of riders being allowed to ride on the asphalt in a cobbled sector. If he had ridden on the cobbles in the centre of the road this could not have happened

 

[Kwibus]

Well I had family commitments from 25km to go and only have just seen the finale of the race. Must say that it was a little underwhelming. I was very dissapointed for Lampaert

The last 25km of Roubaix just never gives you a good impression of this race. Roubaix needs to be watched a minimum a 100km from the finish. Today you needed to watch it from the start

 

[Amazinmets87]

I really wanted Devriendt to make the podiym

Electronics are the single biggest profit generator on medium to high end bikes..biggest growth area in bike racing..

Yes. I can understand it and still not like it.

I'm away from home and haven't watched the race properly yet, but looking forward to it later this week.

Van der Hoorn was in the final group of Kung, v.d. Poel, van Aert (group of 8) about 30-40km from the finish, but punchtured out and had another mechanical after. He said he still felt great. Just like van Baarle this race suits him. van der Hoorn can't put out extreme watts, but can go on all day if needed.

 

[hayneplane]

Sensational race right from the flag drop with nothing conceded by anyone. So refreshing to see them go hard gun to tape and not let a soft 3/4 rider break go up the road and then soft tap for 80km until the first cobbles are on the horizon. Flanders was an excellent race with Pogacar slaughtering the specialists up all the bergs and I genuinely think he would have made the top 10 today had he ridden and avoided untimely mechanical incidents but that race was great for the second half of the distance whereas PR was full on griping watching throughout.

I watched from 200km. I had to stop at 25km to go and catch up later
