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

[Orbit501]

Has MVDP just pushed Degs out of the race there?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Degenkolb absolutely screwed

 

[Boehmand]

Watching the replay, Philipsen is to blame for the crash, he closed the door on MvdP.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Bad luck for Wout, vdP riding to the finish solo. Still 14km to go though, so things could still happen.

 

[Red Rick]

Paris Roubaix pure luck race confirmed

 

[KZD]

Just race to the finish, get 2nd and assume VdP gets DQd?

It was Philipsen that changed his line first not Van der Poel.

 

[Salvarani]

Watching the replay, Philipsen is to blame for the crash, he closed the door on MvdP.

I think VDP was shouting at him but Philipsen thought he was coming around the other side.

 

[Red Rick]

If they pull it back and Philipsen wins I might just toss my bike into a farm

Has MVDP just pushed Degs out of the race there?

should be a dsq, tbh. MvdP clearly caused that crash

 

[Sciatic]

Van der Poel dropping Van Aert. Incredible how he stay upright with Degenkolb and Philipsen.

Puncture for Van Aert. The man has no luck.

Amazing? He ran him off the road?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yea, on replay it's obviously Philipsen's fault the crash. Because he lost grip and slowed van der Poel had no choice but to go that way as well and Philipsen nearly took out both of them but MVDP stayed upright. Watching live I'd thought Philipsen was leading out MVDP to attack or to respond to Wout, and he had swung past without knowing Degenkolbe was there and taken him out.

 

[Andre]

f####ed up a good race

 

[Peyroteo94]

Phillipsen will win this bike race.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Philipsen did, MVDP had no room and otherwise he would’ve crashed.

 

[Salvarani]

should be a dsq, tbh. MvdP clearly caused that crash

No... it was Philipsen swaying to the right. VDP had nowhere to go. He is just lucky to still be on his bike.

 

[StryderHells]

should be a dsq, tbh. MvdP clearly caused that crash

It’s not clear at all, it was a racing incident and nobody is getting disqualified

 

[Scarponi]

...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.

Defeats the purpose of the race when most of it is ridden in the gutter. Something has to be done about it

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

It was Philipsen's fault

 

[dazaau]

Not over yet

 

[mr. tibbs]

Well damn. This was an amazing edition, such great racing, and then all this happened.

VdP caused two crashes today?

 

[Red Rick]

I've never, in this situation, seen a solo rider be brought back in Roubaix

 

[Boehmand]

should be a dsq, tbh. MvdP clearly caused that crash

Nope, watch it again.

MvdP was attacking through a gap, when Philipsen swerved right and closed the gap.

MvdP had nowhere to go.

 

[meat puppet]

It's over. Gap growing.

 

[jaylew]

Well, if Mathieu somehow gets caught, Philipsen is going to win.

 

[F_Cance]

I already was a VDP hater, but now I lost the last bit of respect for this piece of ... Can't behave off the bike, can't behave on the bike.

 

[Brullnux]

Not over yet

I think it is, group behind is slowing a lot and I think Ganna/Kung are dusted
