Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[ppanther92]

Is he in the top 3 of luckiest riders of the day so far for you? For me he's the clear #1, just unbelievably lucky, never seen such luck.

Are you guys insane? He had 3 mechanicals. Obviously MvdP was more unlucky for timing but you realize that the other guys upfront had either 0 or 1 puncture.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pogacar looks strongest by far. but that cobbles section push showed everyone why they were fools riding with him

I think Mads has played a very good game, so far. Pog burned a lot of matches in his chase.

 

[No Excuses]

They are playing with fire

 

[search]

I think Meeus just went too deep following Ganna. He may be able to recover

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Laporte should be drilling it here

 

[Heston]

If Van der Poel makes it back it will actually be a legendary comeback, unlike when Pogacar closed 30 sec on a group that waited for him before Arenberg

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

He can drop them all any moment he chooses

I don't think so, today anyway.

 

[Brullnux]

Van der Poel pulls on the cobbles, Ganna on asphalt. Good duo

 

[rghysens]

My idea too. Mons-en-Pévèle will be the place.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Laporte should be drilling it here

No. Both he and Wout should try to survive Mons Pevele and then they can start working.

 

[canina82]

If MVP wins,it's the most legendary win in PR to me.

 

[Gigs_98]

MvdP probably knows that once they reach Mons en Pevele the pace at the front will no longer come down.

 

[Rou]

Mvdp not giving up!
Vamos!

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

If MVP wins,it's the most legendary win in PR to me.

100%

 

[Stelvio]

And suddenly the MvdP (group) has gained 30 seconds

 

[Devil's Elbow]

RB could at least briefly have four riders in the mix if they play this right.

 

[Revelation]

Undoubtedly

I'm shaking and crying just thinking about it. Why is life so unfair?

 

[Boehmand]

MvdP and Ganna dropping the gap fast, at the rate of 5 seconds a minute

They need to start riding in front

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Can MVP jncredibly make it? Filippo provides watts as well. The front group needs to up the pace.

 

[ppanther92]

If MVP wins,it's the most legendary win in PR to me.

Yes, but I can’t see that happening- he has to do all on his own

 

[Red Rick]

Finally the motor in front of MvdP

 

[Tim Cahill]

There has been some messing about but pulling back 2.30 at that point in the race would be absurd.

 

[KZD]

Van der Poel drilling it on Orchy like he did it in 2024 when he went solo.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

How many matches is VDP burning here. Some effort.

 

[Leinster]

I don’t know where you are watching this race, but for those of us following in the US, the NBC/Peacock app shows too many ad breaks, for too long. The vdP gap went down 30 seconds in this last one.
