Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[KOM]

I so desperately want van Aert to be the benefiary of all this that i just know itll be Pedersen and i like Pedersen, but if the stars arent aligned this time, theyll never be

 

[Boehmand]

To all the people declaring it over.

Under normal circumstances - when everyone is at their best - both Pedersen, WvA, Laporte and Pithie are faster on the line than Pogacar, and Stuyven is not far off.

Problem for Pedersen is he has not been able to maintain his sprint due to the injury.

 

[pelotonIQ]

UAE team car have to go up the road now behind Pogi be the first car in the convoy.

 

[Monsi]

I have not taken my eyes off the screen 30+ minutes cause wow. That's just crazy. Pog mech then MVDP mech

 

[Brullnux]

This race truly showing the colours of some posters, VERMEESCH NEVER HAD ANY CHANCE OF WINNING THIS RACE.

He's come second before and PR is a lottery. This is silly.

 

[dazaau]

Pog went from on the back foot to box seat real fast I need to know that the hell happened with mvdp

 

[tobydawq]

Mads looks laboured. Wout looks really good.

 

[Rou]

They should be attacking Pogacar now.
Wtf are they doing?

 

[jono]

Good karma also. Riding for himself to get a top5

What an insane take.

 

[Tim Cahill]

No need for G1 to full send it now, VDP won't make it back

 

[Revelation]

The only time anyone other than Pogacar should ride on the front is during a cobble section.
I'm guessing they will ride all the time though.

Right, but everyone should've attacked with 105 to go with the guy who's won 3 in a row in the group?

 

[canina82]

If the front group weren't cowards earlier and kept Pogacar a minute behind we would now be in for an all time Roubaix edition

With another MVP solo?

 

[noob]

No one deserves a win more than Wout but no way is this gonna be that fair

 

[AmRacer]

So what. pogacar is there. You don't ride for second if you are WVA

Laporte should drill, not Wout. Agree to that.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Jordi Meeus pulling back to his team leader

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

German ES theorizing that VDP or Filipsen were riding a shimao prototype, so the click pedals didn't match, hence VDP coudln't take the bike.

 

[Gigs_98]

Good karma also. Riding for himself to get a top5

Wtf man

 

[awavey]

Danish commentators say Philipsen is using some new prototype pedals. Which makes him offering up his bike to VDP incredibly dumb.

ah, yes that would explain it, but then also are they crazy !?! why are they riding different equipment in this race among the team, and how did they forget when he handed over the bike, thats so dumb isnt it.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Laporte should drill, not Wout. Agree to that.

Laporte should also not drill. They should do nothing but save their legs.
Who cares if the rest come back. Your main adversary is Pogacar not the rest.

 

[yaf2]

Alpecin waited for Pocacar.

Will UAE wait for Van der Poel?

We all know they wont. Loser team who waited for Pogacar.

What are you talking about

 

[Devil's Elbow]

With another MVP solo?

Van der Poel would still have had the flat in that situation, so no, not at all.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Ganna not bothering to position himself ever isn‘t doing him any favors

 

[burning]

They should be attacking Pogacar now.
Wtf are they doing?

You all really underestimate how much these riders care about "guaranteed" top 5 finishes for their next contrast, maybe except for WVA and Pedersen

 

[Boehmand]

Good karma also. Riding for himself to get a top5

Complete BS

He did his job and did what he was told

 

[Leinster]

Ganna trying to beard his way back up to the leaders.
