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

[ChewbaccaDefense]

That move against Degenkolb was borderline, I'll say that.

The technical difference between Ganna and the top on the cobbles, just look at the cornering, is really big.

the Asgreen incident was the only bad one on him. He was forced into Degenkolb

 

[Brullnux]

Philipsen suckwheeling full time and still barely closing Van Aert

Yep, very surprising that a man who has finished a cobbled monument once is struggling to follow one of the top two cobbled classic specialists in the world

 

[Salvarani]

MVDP wins another one! What a rider!

 

[jaylew]

Joins Tadej as the only current riders with 3 different monuments.

 

[Salvarani]

A double for Alpecin!

 

[Asero831]

Will Philipsen get DQ?

 

[Scarponi]

Amazes me how many 1-2 from the same team cycling has

 

[Pirazziattacks]

It's going to be an interesting post classics team meeting at JV.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

I was hoping for a much more exciting finish, but congrats to MVDP.

 

[Salvarani]

Will Philipsen get DQ?

Dont think so. It was just an unfortunate incident.

 

[skippo12]

Alpecian getting a 1-2 after the Degenkolb incident isn´t exactly a feel good story.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Very good performance from Ganna. What a spring from him!

Very good but he wasn't close to winning. He will not have a chance. I have wiggins vibes with him

 

[jsem94]

Heartbreak for Degenkolb..

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Joins Tadej as the only current riders with 3 different monuments.

And they are the only current riders with 4 total too.

Is their wheel supplier attending the meeting?

This is very logical though, if somebody wins solo, and has a teammate in the chasing group, that teammate will pretty much always be the freshest man in that group behind, because they will never be expected to contribute to chase their own teammate.

 

[KOM]

Well that sucked. Grats to MvdP though brawns over brain

Two badly timed mechanical problems. Not much they could do about it..

 

[Salvarani]

Who knows, he will have a few more attempts. Showed himself that he can be with the best here with his best performance yet.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Incredibly, this is the first time Van der Poel wins by more than 15 seconds in a professional, non-NC road race.

 

[Jagartrott]

A man makes his own luck.

Ridiculous comment. Van Aert did nothing wrong. Degenkolb same.

 

[Pippo_San]

Philipsen the strongest today? Maybe held back by orders & VDP status?

Anyway another show by Mathieu...what a beast!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Rob Hatch calling Degenkolb finishing the most impressive 7th place finish he's ever seen. I mean, yes he was in the mix before the crash, but it's not like it was Jürgen Roelandts at 2015 Gent-Wevelgem or something.

 

[Scarponi]

This is very logical though, if somebody wins solo, and has a teammate in the chasing group, that teammate will pretty much always be the freshest man in that group behind, because they will never be expected to contribute to chase their own teammate.

Of course it’s just felt like this year it’s been happening a little extra, a lot of powering away 1-2s as well

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Will Philipsen get DQ?

Together with Van der Poel, Van Aert wins! Yay!
