Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[Boehmand]

We may end up with a complete peloton at 100K to go

 

[awavey]

uae car should be told to get the *** away from the front of the group . stay at the back

surprised they were allowed to do that in a cobble sector, when literally the road was just ahead, that seemed really sketchy and dangerous for that group of riders, who suddenly not only have a car, but get blocked by all the dust and stuff too.

 

[Heston]

They don't have any strong riders.

They have several riders in front and are clearly not going full gas.

They are riding for Pogacar

 

[tobydawq]

UAE would have never waited for Van der Poel in this situation.

Pathetic from Alpecin to slow down now.

I don't think this is necessarily true.

Not as sketchy as last year'a UAE driving.

 

[dr.eve]

When did Alpecin become a loser team with loser mentality?

Maybe bit harsh but I agree with this...

Alpecin, Visma, Decathlon... Well basically anyone with teammates not belonging to UAE should drill at the front. Why on earth would you go easy. This is the highest level, technical issues is part of the game.

 

[Red Rick]

Full frontal shots ofcourse

 

[dazaau]

UAE have all the money, the best riders, but no brains outside Pogacar's own head.

 

[Boehmand]

Pogacar will be saved because VdP doesn't want to win like this.

Both MvdP and Philipsen are faster on the line than Pogacar, they do not need to drop him, just prevent him from dropping them

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Next sector coming up:
20 : Haveluy à Wallers (km 153,6 - 2,5 km) ****

 

[awavey]

"To not lose minutes in 4k on a neutral service bike is incredible" says my announcer.

WTF is it a department store Huffy or something? They're still nice bikes.

saddle height was way too high for him, he was stretching to ride on it, which isnt good at the best of times, let alone trying to ride cobbles on it quickly.

 

[Brullnux]

Pogacar will be saved because VdP doesn't want to win like this.

Luckily Van Aert just wants to win

 

[Didinho]

Yeah this will only be a minor inconvenience. They’ll be back soon.

 

[ingsve]

Imagine if Pogacar manages to win both his first MSR and PR the same year after mechanicals.

 

[Netserk]

wout needs to put the foot down and take the front himself

 

[Gratemans]

42 secs.

COME ON !!!

GREATEST COME BACK OF ALL TIME

No it isn't. Are you watching the race?

 

[KoopaCycling]

Alpecin, RBH and Visma domestiques should be riding their hearts, instead they are riding at 90%

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Both MvdP and Philipsen are faster on the line than Pogacar, they do not need to drop him, just prevent him from dropping them

I meant saved from this situation. Not "win because of it".
Win was always not the most likely, it's not gonna get easier now.

 

[Lorzenz08]

25 secs.

COME ON POGII

 

[saunaking]

Alpecin - ride on front to spend energy but not so fast to keep the gap wtf

 

[Squire]

Vermeersch getting a judgemental camera on himself.

 

[Netserk]

horrible from the front group

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Teddy behind after a mechanical. This is PR isnt it? They have to make it before Arenberg otherwise it will be difficult.

 

[Brullnux]

They're not pulling ffs

 

[Red Rick]

Alpecin - ride on front to spend energy but not so fast to keep the gap wtf

It's called waiting
