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

[Andy262]

Wanty look like they were going for the points

 

[Blobs]

I am sorry you feel that way. I know I am correct and content with that.

Confidently wrong

 

[titan31]

NO YOU IDIOT SHOW THE GROUP

Was that Fred!??!

Yup, that was annoying. Don't need to go to some talking head, I wanted to see the sprints for other places.

 

[Tim Cahill]

TNT don't have a clue about cycling, cut away to some vapid clowns yapping in the studio instead of watching the top 10 sprints.

 

[ppanther92]

Wright 9th, Rex 10th. Philipsen 11th. Haller 12th, Ganna 13th.

Good result for Haller

 

[Leinster]

There’s definitely a big benefit to getting into the break in Roubaix; with all the attrition in the peloton behind, there’s always a solid chance that someone from the break makes it into the top 10.

 

[dgodave]

I would do poorly in this bike race.

Yup, just switched to f1 right after that, whereas they would have me for a few minutes more if they actually showed cycling

 

[jono]

He is not a bad ITT rider, i just don't think he is that good as many think. He lost a lot of time to van der poel.

I don't this has any bearing on TT ability. MVDP simply had more gas left in the tank after 250km.

 

[Netserk]

1. Van der Poel
2. Pogi
3. Pedersen
4. Van Aert
5. Vermeersch
6. Rutsch
7. Bissegger
8. Hoelgaard
9. Wright
10. Rex
11. Philipsen
12. Haller
13. Ganna
14. Mihkels
15. Girmay

 

[Unchained]

Wow that surprised me!! MVP using regular Canyon adjustable handlebars!! Confidence builder for people who question the strength!!

 

[proffate]

Today just showed Pogacar is the best classics rider. He can win all 5, on the other hand MVP can't win LBL and GdL.

Mvdp could win liege in a world that didn't include pog

 

[Red Rick]

Extremely predictable result, like Pedersen 3rd Van Aert 4th is really not remotely funny anymore.

 

[Brullnux]

I am sorry you feel that way. I know I am correct and content with that.

Unfortunate main definition: 'not favored by fortune'. Secondary definition: a regrettable event. Unlucky only definition: ill-fated.

Fundamentally, Pogacar made a mistake that was not to do with luck or fate but skill. That's the end of the story. If you're describing misjudgments as unlucky, you are just being euphemistic.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Very good race! Just a shame to see Pedersen's mechanical and Pogacar's mistake, if not this race would be perfect.
And please, no more Ganna talk. Overrated as hell

 

[Tim Cahill]

£31 a month and they denied Fred his big moment AGAIN

Top 10 in 2 monuments this season with teammates awol, what a racer!!!

 

[red_flanders]

Those boys made that race really hard from a long way out. Not so sure what would have happened had Pogi stayed with him to the velodrome. I mean money's on MVDP, but he was also cooked IMO.

Great attacking race. Lots of whiners complaining about champions pulling and attacking each other. Sky fans I presume.

Great racing. Enjoy it. It's rare.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I feel sorry for the Brits that it has come to a situation where you go bananas over someone finishing 9th in a monument 5 minutes behind the winner Danish smug face emoji

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar is such a overrated TT rider. How could he just put 40 seconds after Paterberg in a group of Pedersen/WVA/Stuyven/MVP

 

[Krzysztof_O]

What a race, what a battle!

Congrats to MVP on his 3rd PR victory. He showed his strength in this race again. TBF when Pog missed a turn MVP initially didn't push hard but was waiting a bit. Then it was race on of course and the Dutch managed to keep and then increase his initial gap.

Congrats to Pogi on the 2nd place in his debut. He lightened up the race with multiple attacks and it was a joy to watch the current TdF champion attacking big boys on the cobbles. He made a mistake but fortunately he finished the race in one piece and on the podium. No shame in losing to MVP, maybe the best rider ever in cobbles races. His current places: in monuments (1, 1, 1, 2, 3) plus WC (1) plus Olympics (3). Insane one-day racing stats, the most complete since Eddy.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Today just showed Pogacar is the best classics rider. He can win all 5, on the other hand MVP can't win LBL and GdL.

This didn't show that at all.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Mvdp could win liege in a world that didn't include pog

No he can't. There are at least 10 riders better than him

 

[Netserk]

Van Aert: "No regrets. I have to be happy, and I am happy and satisfied."

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pog seems like such a good guy, that it should be easy to cheer for him...but his fans make that more challenging.

 

[Barkintheeye]

I’m all for Van der Poel but what you said is true and it’s impossible to deny no matter how many more times MVDP wins Roubaix, RVV or MSR. Further I hope he never tries to become a GT / GdL / LBL contender cause it’s just the wrong route to go. Instead an Olympic gold in MTB cause that is something Pog couldn’t do
