Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[buddy buddy buddy]

stuyven finally around to help mads

 

[KoopaCycling]

Visma with 2 riders

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

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Visma really need to try and have Laporte or Van Aert anticipate before Mons-en-Pévèle.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

People hating on MVP when he was the only one to attack Pogacar. Karma is so damn good

«Attack»
That was the weakest attack ever

 

[Netserk]

pogi attacking mvdp

race over for alpecin

 

[Tim Cahill]

There's a reason this is only the 7th best one day race, every edition carries a raft of asterisks

 

[Squire]

but seems ok again now, but yeah looked like he couldnt clip in properly which is weird

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

 

[canina82]

Vermeersch crashed and is limping along Arenberg dragging his bike

Good karma also. Riding for himself to get a top5

 

[Valv.Piti]

Not according to UAE! I might be wrong maybe Vermeersch did disobey orders, but more likely this was what he was told to do.

i.e., work for Pogacar, but if punctures, stay in the front.

UAE put down their entire team before Haveluy aside from F. Vermeersch. Perfectly normal. BUT OBVIOUSLY he should have been there the 5-10 km between Haveluy and Arenberg given that the gap was between 15-25 seconds. There's absolutely no argument. Absolutely not.

 

[Barkintheeye]

So now Pog will ride the rest off of his wheel.

 

[E_F_]

Pogacar chilling. No need to rest.

 

[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.
