Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[Tim Cahill]

Why not?

Too much asphalt at this point, looks like they're just making every cobble section hard then leadout on Arenberg and inshallah

 

[BubbaChuck]

keeping them at treshold all the time.

 

[Lorzenz08]

So far average speed 51kmh

 

[Boehmand]

I am really starting to hate UAE, for a variety of reasons, but them riding like this, being one of the most offensive.

They ride like this, to make the race as hard as possible

The one advantage Pogacar has on MvdP is stamina

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Probably was the tail of the second group and not the front...?

Wärenskjold with Resell and Tiller the only Uno-X in first group, so Abra behind.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Can see 4 Lidl/Ineos/UAE with 5 Visma/Alpecin

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

So far average speed 51kmh

51,9 according to PCS even.

 

[Leinster]

I may have this wrong by the end, but I think UAE are making a mistake keeping the whole peloton together like this. The usual washing machine of attacks by others etc is, counter-intuitively, their best chance of getting rid of Pedersen, vanAert etc before Roubaix. Tadej doesn’t have a Cipressa to drop them on today.

 

[Salvarani]

Cross-wind here

 

[BubbaChuck]

thye know mvdp is burning more.

 

[KZD]

Morgado doing a fabulous job this time

 

[Monsi]

This is some pace by UAE on these cobbled sectors

 

[Brullnux]

Is there a single Lidl rider in the front group?

I'm an idiot, there's loads

One acceleration by Pogacar or MvP will split it down to like 10 guys max on Arenberg or the sector before already.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Morgado looks really good, hopefully he ends up somewhere other than Johnny Vaughters peewee hockey team

 

[tobydawq]

Do UAE think this is GP Montréal?

 

[noob]

I thought starting to watch at this time I would see the race but it looks like it's already ended.

 

[Squire]

With Morgado working this hard, there's no hope for him riding the finale and scoring some sneaky CQ points for me. I guess Vermeersch is the no. 2 guy as expected.

 

[Boehmand]

Is there a single Lidl rider in the front group?

I'm an idiot, there's loads

Pedersen, Vacek and Milan

 

[Tim Cahill]

It's over for the Van Dijk's, their own fault for wearing those jonas vingegaard fake Danish Champion helmets.

[QueenStagiaire]

Hagenes mechanical

 

[Brullnux]

Do UAE think this is GP Montréal?

I think the aim is just Pogacar and Vermeersch post-Arenberg. So yes

 

[Heston]

Hagenes race over most likely. All the cars are behind the 2nd peloton

 

[Red Rick]

Do UAE think this is GP Montréal?

They don't think. They never need to.
