Paris-Roubaix 2025, one day monument, April 13 (men)

[Rechtschreibfehler]

This year, Arenberg is relatively late in the race ~ Jens Voigt

It‘s in the same spot as any time in the last years, what does this mean?

Fundah Pole will make the race shorter.
I actually looked it up and was confused as well.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

It wouldn't be better to sleep earlier and wake up at 5:30 am?

Nah, I don't want to miss any of the action because at P-R it can happen at any moment! (And if it doesn't I can always observe the lovely scenery.)

Mons-en-Pevele

Maxtin and Gianetti booking tickets to Antarctica as we speak, If this goes tits up for Pogacar they'll be going the way of the Turkish/Saudi Journalist.

The juniors are at it now, no mud.

A bit of mud later in the sector, but nothing dramatic

 

[Brullnux]

There is quite a bit of mud in other parts. It's patchy

 

[Red Rick]

Clean cobbles utter woke nonsense.

 

[pastronef]

Total, Cofidis, Arkea missing the break in their nation's most important one day race. nice for Unibet to have a man there

 

[Netserk]

The juniors are at it now, no mud.

Ah, the mud was later on the sector, still there. Sorry.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Clean cobbles utter woke nonsense.

Be careful, this qualifies as "discussing what is woke" which falls under the politics ban.

It's 3:30am in my area so I'm watching this in bed already, but right now I'm too jazzed to sleep! (Might happen later, there are still 203 km to go.)

Same. Terrified to actually go to sleep and miss it live!

 

[RedheadDane]

Same. Terrified to actually go to sleep and miss it live!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Bob Roll with his annotated list of every US rider, completely misses Lamperti getting camera time.

The worst part of the race is having to listen to Roll.

Same. Terrified to actually go to sleep and miss it live!

I am happy not to watch it in the middle of the night, but it does feel a bit more magic when one get's up really early to watch some event somewhere far a way on the planet, while everyone around you is asleep.

Yes, and of the different Olympics and Worlds in Australia or Asia, I recall Beijing in particular as getting up early and watching the race while the rest of the family were still sleeping.

And Our friends in Australia struggling to stay awake in tomorrow to see the finish live!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

My wife is all like "Why don't you just watch the replay?" and I'm all like "Why did I marry you?"

 

[Filippo_3467]

Rutsch and Hoelgaard could go pretty far in this race. But the group needs at least 4 minutes before the first cobble sector to have a chance to stay away through the Arenberg which is the condition for getting a Top 10 from the break. It seems like that won't be the case today.

Gap could be already closed down by wallers if the top teams decide on opening the race early.

Jesus Christ. Still remember waking up very early to see Phelps and Bolt.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

You should have married RedheadDane instead. She would never say things like that.

 

[Netserk]

Heating up in the peloton, fight for position has started.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Another collarbone... How many collarbones are broken in PR?

 

[Peyroteo94]

Don't get why we have these fights for position with 20 km to the first sector

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This has to be the most extreme fight for position when it comes to killing yourself just to be in position very far from the finish.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Far too early for this nonsense
