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

[Devil's Elbow]

Alpecin has the favorite and the best sprinter. Only a miracle can ruin their race.

It is going to be the same 1-2 for a third year in a row. I am very tired.

 

[Bolder]

Have you ever seen a team car let into a time gap that small?

Only a true patron could get that kind of service,

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pog is a little off and mvp has been pressuring it

This. MVP knows pogi isn't good right now

 

[Salvarani]

Alpecin in pole position here

 

[jono]

Alpecin has the favorite and the best sprinter. Only a miracle can ruin their race.

This is exactly the way you were talking with 60k to go in the Ronde race thread.

Have some faith in your goat

 

[pelotonIQ]

I want to know what he took, you don't get over a hunger knock instantly with a quick energy gel.

What if it wasn't a hunger knock?

 

[iBanesto]

Double bottle distribution from that Alpecin soigneur.

 

[Sciatic]

Pogacar cramping?

 

[danielzu]

Really a shame for astana that ballerini and fedorov both lost contact because of punctures. They could have 3 guys in the top 15 here

 

[MJR]

Pog not looking too comfortable on the bike atm. Back or hamstring issues?

 

[scribers]

Cramping. They gave him electrolytes

 

[search]

Bissegger said that his goal today is a podium, nothing less. Sounded a bit much for someone who hasn't even hit the top 20 yet, but so far he is on track.

 

[noob]

Just clicking on only to see there's no Wout 😭

 

[Tim Cahill]

What if it wasn't a hunger knock?

I think it looked like either that or cramps, otherwise the car wouldn't be speeding through groups like that, he did something similar in Lombardia at the end in 2023.

Unless his legs have just gone.

Why is pogacar working here? once u aren't feeling great u have to stop working

 

[iBanesto]

Just clicking on only to see there's no Wout 😭

He's waiting to attack on Kwaremont...

 

[CatchyH]

Why is pogacar working here? once u aren't feeling great u have to stop working

Alpecin will attack him if he doesn't.

Difference is that it was wrong in that race, while it's true here.

 

[Gigs_98]

I agree that the only way Alpecin doesn't win this involves mechanicals or crashes. Maybe there is a scenario where they drag Pedersen to the Velodrome and he beats Philipsen in a sprint, but it's hard to even think of other scenarios.

 

[JoãoRamos]

This. MVP knows pogi isn't good right now

He will recover. Let's have faith

as I mentioned yesterday, Roubaix is always tough with a new setup, though. It took Merida years to get it right as well.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Wva with a very strange race and some explanation to do. The best he seems to be able to do now is ride Kopecky-wise with Brennan to the velodrome.

 

[kn0s]

Albert crying his eyes out

 

[Peyroteo94]

WVA is really past his prime. What a disaster performance

 

[pastronef]

I so want Alpecin not to win, but it looks they will
