Paris - Roubaix 2024, one day monument, April 7

[Eddy Evenepoel]

In the not too distant future Roubaix is gonna go in sub 5 hours and still be considered an attrition race

I dont quite follow this thinking. Going faster and faster can’t only be because better equipment, it should also mean the average effort over the whole race is higher.

Is the same race raced with average speed of 47km/h less of an attrition race than the same race raced at 45 km/h?

Laporte puncture...

Visma needs to find whoever is responsible for their cobbles gear and rocket them into orbit.

 

[Netserk]

Good to see Rex near the front.

 

[Tim Cahill]

A mere 60k before we get sight of the iconic chicane

 

[DNP-Old]

Milan tried to fight a photographer.

 

[Volderke]

Call me crazy. But how does asgreen allowed a nearly two minute advantage?

They need 5-6 minutes. And they have a bit more than one, at the moment.

 

[noob]

Visma is legit cursed.

If it was a movie Plugge made a deal with the devil and now they're up for payment

[Volderke]

Gleb literally wrestling with the cobbles. He's got the build.

 

[Samamba]

Front group won't even make Arenberg like this

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens brake handles allowed?

 

[KZD]

Alpecin already causing big splits in the peloton.

 

[Volderke]

This looks more and more like a training ride for MvdP.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Peloton shattered in pieces. Were there a crash?

 

[Netserk]

The wind will see the peloton detonate.

just the funnel effect of a secteur with some wet parts + some riders with mechanicals blocking part of that secteur.

Love the visual of staff holding up wheels everywhere

 

[KOM]

VdP is reaching Nibali levels of Voodoo. Change my mind.

 

[Volderke]

Farmer's block??

 

[Salvarani]

Alpecin drilling it.

 

[Volderke]

heavy sidewinds on this stretch. Almost no shelter.

 

[DNP-Old]

Echelons, omg.

 

[iBanesto]

Who was the rider who got stuck in the mud and almost ran into the fence?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Degenkolb looks like he's planning to absolutely bowling ball that Alpecin train
