Paris - Roubaix 2022, one day monument, April 17

[Savant12]

Was a fantastic edition of the race. Congrats to DVB.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bigger margin than Boonen in 2012, almost eclipsed Cancellara 2010 too. Massively impressive stuff. And even then we still had an open race until about 20k to go.

 

[Escarabajo]

Ineos sweeping everything now!! LOL.
Dylan van Baarle and his high gears looked painful at times. Just like Mohoric, but they have an advantage if you are strong.

10 Y Lampaert miracle

 

[hfer07]

What an amazing edition of P-R
congrats to Van Baarle for his well earned PR win. legendary ride

I'm heartbroken by Lampaert's bad luck, but it is what it is......

 

[movingtarget]

Tremendous win by DVB.

 

[RedheadDane]

Norsgaard got a bike that... wasn't allowed?

 

[Scarponi]

Mohoric if he was in the group who came across instead being out there so long could have won this

 

[StryderHells]

Have to applaud Pichon today, 35 years old racing his second Roubaix and he knocks out a top 10. Results like this are one of the reasons I adore this race.

 

[escartin]

5*Wanty in the top 20!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Norsgaard got a bike that... wasn't allowed?

He doesn't seem to be too pleased about that.

 

[noob]

This race was so effing amazing!

 

[jmdirt]

Congrats DvB!

PR is experienced RR rider race. Par Degenkolb no-one under 28 year old has won it for ages. Most winners in past 12 years have been +30. Van Baarle is 30 in a month. WVA and MVDP need couple more PR's for practice before winning. But I think they will eventually.

 

[movingtarget]

Stupid old gimmer reaching out and clapping

Yeah he was the only one on the course that did that.............

 

[woodburn]

The podium was pretty much decided and then a spectator changes things

Nah. They were being closed down. The gap was only like 10 seconds or so. No idea who would have been on podium after that.

Or they just need to avoid COVID and two punctures.

My man Turner crashes for the first time this season, trying to chase MVDP and loses a top ten spot. Has done so well riding for others this year. Next spring, they have to let him ride for himself a lot more.

Non-stop action, turns of events, bad luck. PR delivered (as usually). Congrats to Van Baarle on his impressive ride - he was the strongest in the finale. Also credit to Mohoric - he was super strong today - long-lasting breakaway, a defect and still he was fighting for victory almost until the end. Also Wout was very strong - he had two defects and the latter may have caused his inability to follow the decisive attack. MVP weaker today as well as one week ago - following Pogacar on cobbles has killed him, it seems.

 

[Orbit501]

Great race! Deserved winner.

Pains me to say it but Ineos have played a blinder in the Classics this season.

Aside from Van Baarle, Mohoric was outstanding today. Almost my rider of the day. Very surprised, considering his past showings here.

Or they just need to avoid COVID and two punctures.

Well... if you look todays race, they were not the only ones with bad luck. Impact of Covid in WVA cannot really be estimated.

 

[gregrowlerson]

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

One of those riches to riches stories that everyone loves.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Ben Turner just one spot off the Roubaix/Brabantse Pijl top-10 double in the end, would have been quite a rare achievement but still an incredible result for a debutant.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

From the interview with DvB
- most Ineos moves were intuition rather than planned

 

[Alexandre B.]

Still the best race in the world.
