Paris - Roubaix 2024, one day monument, April 7

What a Pithie

 

[repre]

Peloton doing all they can for me to care less about classics

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

All the teams calculate intake now and use the sky method to distribute it, there's no randomness in calories anymore

The rider still needs to think of eating it though, however well calculated or distributed. Siebergs point was, that VdP apparently has a history of forgetting to do so. But tbf, I think he was grasping for straws.

 

[Ripper]

Pithie is a bouncy dude

It would have been better if he bounced more. He hit that and stuck it pretty hard

 

[Ricco']

He can take a shower and see Philipsen become 2nd.

Will wait for him in the line with his new contract.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

MvdP now has 12 seconds on Renaat, who is mounting a courageous chase on the moto.

 

[ingsve]

So many times this season when Pithie has been one of the strongest riders in a classic and somehow manages to screw it up and not get as good of a result as his legs warranted. Let's see if he can come back this time.

SOOOO....that chicane hysteria was a tempest in a teapot, huh? Had absolutely 0 factor in how this has played out.

 

[Ripper]

Actually, he will ride back out and meet Philipsen, then ride back in with the group and lead Philipsen out.

Then he will ride back out and do that with other AD teammates.

We didn't see the second group, but unlike last year there was no crash in Arenberg.

 

[rallybanana]

Phil commentated Adri's races, so that's understandable.

Did Phil ever commentate on Poulidor's races?

I ran simulations and found that if the chicane was not there, Stefan Kung would currently be soloing to an astonishing victory by ten minutes.

Sky is about as relevant as Kim Kardashian

 

[Didinho]

Fastest Roubaix still on the cards.

 

[Ricco']

BREAKING!

Mathieu will ride 3 and a half laps around the velodrome, so he can personally wave to every spectator there.

In the worlds maybe without comms, but MVDP is on remote control with team car telling him when to eat and they also bring the food to him now as he's' > time gap to move up to him.

 

[Salvarani]

Mihkels is back!!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So, first they let the gap get to 2+ minutes, and then they start riding together. Genius.

 

[Rackham]

Reduced bunch made it safer as well. But all the chicane really did was make Arenberg less exciting.

 

[Didinho]

The chicane saved the race for another 30km.

 

[Salvarani]

MVDP not going full gas anymore. He is just cruising now. Not actually, but maintaining.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I ran simulations and found that if the chicane was not there, Stefan Kung would currently be soloing to an astonishing victory by ten minutes.

...dammit...somewhere in an alternate universe...and we aren't there...

 

[samhocking]

Not really, the entire peloton use their method now for nutrition stategy.

 

[Didinho]

Give that spectator a massive fine.

 

[Ripper]

Dude could completely crack and lose 5 seconds a kilometer, and still win easily.
