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

[Red Rick]

100% of the crashes on the asphalt so far, have some teams gone past the limit in adjusting their setup for the cobbles or just coincidence?

95% sure it's just because riders are focused on the cobbles and just zone out completely outside the cobbles. Also riders don't try to maneuver past each other so much on the cobbles.

 

[Netserk]

Really?
And how do they trick insects?

They are attracted to yellow flowers. So some yellow rapeseed are also planted next to the white to attract all the insects.

Lapse of concentration

Fighting for position

2nd peloton lost a lot of time due to that crash in peloton 1

First few crashes were down to fights for position, this was just poor.

Ganna/Philipsen group took it really easy for some reason on that asphalt bit - maybe got slowed down by the crash on the road, actually.

Okay, maybe Wout not panicing was a smart move. He pace his way back, without burning too much energy. Now he is surfing up to the front.

Those arguments apply every year, but usually we don't see quite so many crashes on the asphalt and we also usually see at least one crash on the early sectors.

Jono called it. Alpecin doing what it did last year, and reducing the size of the peloton before Aernberg.

 

[pastronef]

Mouris won the junior race ahead of Barry. are they both the sons?

 

[titan31]

Time gaps are all over the place.

 

[Samamba]

Allright Ganna and Philipsen are coming back

edit: what is this gps

 

[VanBsr]

Did anybody saw where Stuyven is?

 

[Samamba]

Did anybody saw where Stuyven is?

I'm assuming also in peloton 2?

They aren‘t reducing anything here

Really? They seem to be doing their utmost to increase its size

I think I got it wrong. Alpecin are taking it easy on the front. The peloton is thinning itself on on its own.

Mouris is the nephew.
Well, one of the nephews.

 

[titan31]

This is pathetic time gaps by the coverage here.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Very good footage, close to the cobbles.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

It seemed smaller at the end of the last section...but yeah, it is swelling now.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alpecin doing the right thing going for the tepid Sunday ride strategy, Phillipsen behind and UAE need an attrition race that they don't seem to have the horses for.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

I think I got it wrong. Alpecin are taking it easy on the front. The peloton is thinning itself on on its own.

They seem to be letting Ganna and Philipsen (understandably) back on. They did string it out before the last sectur, but yeah, now they seem pretty chill.

In Japan they paint cows to look like zebras to repel insect bites. Insects are dumb

 

[Netserk]

Politt pushes!

 

[Brullnux]

Pedersen is such an idiot man
