Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

Don‘t get why Pedersen and Van Aert should work for the top favorite here, it‘s the world against Van der Poel AND Pogačar!

 

[iBanesto]

Pogacar is back.

 

[canina82]

The only rider who should not attack, it's MVP and he attacked.

 

[Brullnux]

Aah classic F. Vermeersch. My god this guy is a terrible teammate just like in Flanders

? There was no guarantee that the front group would sit up, why would Vermeersch go back and ruin UAE's last chance of winning the race

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Group 1 syndrome?

 

[Boehmand]

Wisdom comes with the years I guess.

I guess you didn't see him go through the cars on the cobbles earlier?

 

[Heston]

Pogi makes it. He fired a shot and the tesm destroyed. It wasnt easy at all. Lets see how he recovers for Arenberg.

Gaining 30 sec back on a group that waits for you is in fact pretty easy

Pogacar Derangement syndrome, affecting 50+% of this thread.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Peloton just showed they okay with 2nd place.

 

[Boehmand]

I don't see what Vermeersch did wrong, I get Pogacar fans don't like him but he did exactly what he needed to

More importantly, he did what he was told to do - by his boss

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Monster effort by Brennan, good thing it wasn't needed earlier so he could do it now.

 

[Gratemans]

This is an absolute disgrace. Disrespectful to the most beautiful classic.
Now I'm actually hoping Pogacar wins this and Alpecin and Visma are left with nothing.

Are you serious? Its Pogacar lmao

 

[burning]

This was very dumb for sure, did UAE bribe these guys?

Easier to beat one than to beat both. And it's not like they had no teammates.

 

[rallybanana]

In Arenberg 15 minutes before the fastest schedule.

 

[iBanesto]

Trouée d'Arenberg...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Stuyven looking really smooth on the cobbles

 

[Didinho]

Nooo Mathieu. D*mn.

 

[canina82]

Ahahah MVP! Karma is a .....

 

[Boehmand]

Pithie looks the strongest RB

Pogacar was 25s back, if the peloton had worked his race was over. Since there's no guarantee that happens and Vermeersch does have an okay chance of winning, why sacrifice him?

 

[search]

I think this is all pretty good for the race, now, with attacks from the non-favorites likely to come up after Arenberg
