Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

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.

 

[The bald fraud]

MvdP not giving up!

 

[jono]

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

Wout deserves exact the palmares he has, just like any other rider.

But I hope he wins at this point.

 

[Revelation]

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

It was 15 seconds, you really think the other teams we're worrying about Vermeesch and would've floored it if he dropped back?

 

[Gigs_98]

With another MVP solo?

No with Pogacar and MvdP both trying to catch a group of 2nd tier favorites for 100km. Like a rerun of 2016.

 

[YavorD]

A

Good karma also. Riding for himself to get a top5

He didn't have to come back.

 

[Salvarani]

Complete BS

He did his job and did what he was told

It was better for him to stay ahead there.

Bad opinions all around right now.

 

[Brullnux]

Jordi Meeus pulling back to his team leader

Red Bull should definitely have done two in the front group/chased. Pithie was not going to get a podium from there, no way

 

[canina82]

Are people forgetting Pogacar did a 10 km solo on his own to close a 20" gap?
Visma should definitely work! It's the best chance for Wout in his entire career

 

[Rackham]

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.

Pog will ride them all off his wheel long before they reach the finish.

 

[Red Rick]

I reckon Ronald Koeman would be better than the average DS in the World Tour, and he thinks Wout Weghorst is fit for international football

 

[tobydawq]

Politt pulling for Van der Poel.

 

[Leinster]

Does Alpecin have nobody in between to help vdP?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Front group is riding half-assed here, good for Ganna and Meeus

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ganna *** on cobbles and positioning but lethal form on the flats
