Paris - Roubaix 2024, one day monument, April 7

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Yep I posted it here. Thought it was a flag but a woman was throwing a hat. We had some closeup replays on Sporza. Just missed Mathieu’s backwheel.

As much as I hate the way this played out, that woman needs to spend some time in jail.

If Mathieu's girlfriend follows Mathieu to the bedroom this evening, she will see Vermeersch just behind her.

They will both know that Philipsen would finish quicker.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Why are people trying to force people to like women cycling? Just should earn that and not always backing on the men to help their audience.

Settle down, nobody's forcing you to like anything. Women's cycling is fantastic, if you don't like it though, that's your prerogative.

 

[Winnen]

Jasper.... Haha.

 

[ppanther92]

Philipsen got bored

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alejandro/Primoz Philipsen makes his move

 

[Peyroteo94]

Phillipsen can't even drop those 2. His palmares is so great due to MVP

 

[proffate]

Next year, if I wanted to beat VDP, I would simply not ride a crash-risky mickey mouse race a few days before the Tour of Flanders.

I hope his coaches take note and allow Wout to race some CX instead of hiding him at high altitude camps all winter

 

[Sciatic]

Phillipsen: “hey, I could have won this race too.”

 

[jono]

Philipsen got bored

Didn't want Vermeersch to slingshot past.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Almost 48 km/h.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Philipsen with tons of confidence.

I've ran my stats and this race is not over. No Dutchman has ever won a Paris-Roubaix featuring a chicane. It remains to be seen whether Van der Poel can beat the feared "curse of the chicane" in 2024.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Okay, missed it but don't think I missed much.

Brief description: It sucked

 

[jono]

How many will finish inside time cut off? Over/under 50?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

May be he'll go the wrong way round the velodrome.

 

[iBanesto]

What was the point of that move Philipsen?!

You're the fastest.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And by 'those 2', you mean the former world champion and reigning winner of Gent-Wevelgem, and the guy who's finished second here before and was third at Ronde last week...

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Largest winning margin for ages + fastest race ever?

2024 BABY!!

 

[Ricco']

2'50 is enough to try to pick a cobble from the ground on the next sector to do the victory celebration with it.

 

[repre]

You're the fastest.

who cares at this point

 

[Peyroteo94]

He has wheelsucked those 2 for over 50 km

I think we can all agree that Phillipsen was very poor today and contributed nothing to the win.

 

[iBanesto]

who cares at this point

Van Aert obviously.

 

[Savant12]

He better not lift up his bike at the finish again.
