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

[Boehmand]

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

Seeing them softpedalling now makes you right, they are unfortunately riding for 2nd now

 

[Peyroteo94]

MVP didn't do a thing. Enjoy his 4th monument where the other dude was attacking when the crash happened

 

[Orbit501]

Race over. MVDP wins by default.

Booooooo!

 

[StryderHells]

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.

But he did nothing wrong this time.

 

[JosefK]

Done and dusted. Great win for MvdP, but suck finish.

 

[Brullnux]

Nice race and then a bit of deflating finish

 

[Libertine Seguros]

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

TIL Red Rick is David Millar

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Damn. For a brief moment I thought this was going to go Wout’s way.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Nope, watch it again.

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

MvdP had nowhere to go.

I thought VDP too a huge risk trying to go through a huge gap on the cobbles and someone else paid the price. Sagan tribute move I guess.

How does he misbehave off the bike ?????

 

[DNP-Old]

In typical UCI fashion they're likely going to disqualify Philipsen after the finish, right after he's messed up the pursuing group.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Damn...Wout has no luck in this race. Ever.

 

[search]

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

you're right, yes. Looked differently from the moto camera. From the overhead it's pretty clear

 

[Orbit501]

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

Ok, reaction in the heat of the moment, but horrible way for Degs to go out. I really fancied him for this race as in great form and superb history here

 

[Squire]

This is how most bike races nowadays are decided. Whoever makes the solo attack that causes hesitation behind wins. MvdP has really tried to make the race and has looked the strongest though.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Kung and Ganna toasted.

 

[Third Time Lucky]

You have to feel for Wout here.

 

[meat puppet]

How does he misbehave off the bike ?????

Perhaps google Australia

 

[Barnacle Bill]

WOw that was close

 

[SarahtheDane]

Now, Wout and Mads at least deserve to podium.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Nope, watch it again.

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

MvdP had nowhere to go.

Philipsen being in front on cobble section is not opposed to orientate backwards in all directions.
Though I'm very keen of Degenkolb, I'd say it was his own fault, being behind MvDP and looking forward.
Ok that's maybe a bit hard. I'd call it a 'racing indicent'.

 

[glassmoon]

ufff... damn close wow

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

MVDP great save in that corner.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Jumbo clearly went with a different tyre pressure reduction system today.
