Paris-Roubaix 2023, one day monument, April 9 (men's)

[Scarponi]

I hate sport sometimes, never lets us get the battles we deserve

 

[Poursuivant]

Race over

 

[KOM]

Pretty unlucky, but if vA doesnt puncture (which ill expect any minute now)and is infact the strongest I can easily see him win. Whats coming should be selective enough plus hes getting a free ride kind of

close enough

 

[DNP-Old]

Wout finally plays everything perfectly and then gets done by material.

 

[jsem94]

I love PR, but I also hate PR. Gruesome race.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

What a *** way to decide the race.

Poor Degenkolb, though it looked like it was his own mistake. And poor Wout.

 

[Peyroteo94]

It wasn't MVP fault

 

[JosefK]

Flat tires win the day.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Fu*k...

 

[QuickZulu]

Game over. What wretched luck.

 

[Andre]

Les Miserables

 

[dazaau]

I want mvdp to win badly. Not like that though

 

[glassmoon]

Come on MVP. Show those soft pedalers!

 

[RobertCrawley]

Crap.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

They call it the Hell of the North for a reason.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Come on motorcycle!

 

[meat puppet]

Wout fire in the belly, either a la Andy or lefevere (chili last night)

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This has to be the worst Itzulia-Roubaix week ever.

 

[Carols]

Wow one must feel badly WVA gets a flat here

 

[Salvarani]

Philipsen swayed to the right just as VDP was coming through, which made VDP take out Degenkolb.

Even though the gap was small from the beginning... it is a racing incident and just very unfortunate. Feel terrible for Degenkolb, he deserved better today.

 

[Poursuivant]

I love PR, but I also hate PR. Gruesome race.

Unfortunately you need a big amount of luck on the day

 

[Libertine Seguros]

...and a completely avoidable and stupid accident.

Wout van Aert after keeping everything under control throughout decides to attack when there's a crash, and for anybody who wanted to question the morals of it, he got instant karma. And then the guy that helped cause the accident gets to go solo because of that puncture.

I think they should both be DQed for cowardice for riding off the cobbles on sector 3 though. You shouldn't be able to win Roubaix unless you rode all of the cobbled sectors.

 

[Boehmand]

We'll probably see Pedersen, Küng, Ganna and WvA chase MvdP together the last 10 K, with Philipsen on their wheel... not over yet I think.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

The man really is as thick as a plank (pun intended), but unfortunately he's so strong it doesn't matter.

 

[Peyroteo94]

It was Phillipsen fault
