Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[Dazed and Confused]

Pithie - rider mistake, fatique

 

[noob]

Wout refusing to take pulls now!

 

[canina82]

41" gap

 

[Devil's Elbow]

I was half expecting Pogacar to attack on this drag.

 

[Boehmand]

Is this or 21 most crashes. 21 was in the effing mud in autumn

21 was far worse

Don't think this edition feels particularly "crashy"

A lot of flats though

What are you doing here, Gigs, switch off and do something else, we're enjoying this .

Although it's kinda like a really good El Clásico for me, it's a great match but I don't want either side to win.

Did you read that right?

 

[No Excuses]

He can't drop him

Who would be an acceptable winner? Would you be happy with WvA?

 

[Didinho]

Mathieu didn’t pass Mads to be fresher for this uphill. Get the stronger riders with you. Only Jasper it seems.

Wout should only ride when the come really close again.

 

[Netserk]

stop wout !

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Average Speed still 49.6 according to PCS.

 

[Bertram Wooster]

Stuyven just stays in MVDP's wheel.

 

[canina82]

Pogacar tried to burn Wout in the only hill of this race

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Wout, no, just no

 

[burning]

Man, you guys are delusional if you think WVA is going to not ride right now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The serial runner-up being the one to snap the greatest series of wins of all time would be poetic in its own way.

 

[ppanther92]

The hell - MvdP is strong

 

[Red Rick]

If Pogacar wins this it's entirely due to him getting back between cars while Van Aert had to close half a minute himself.

 

[canina82]

Wout is letting MVP come back. So stupid

 

[rghysens]

Pogacar tried to burn Wout in the only hill of this race

There´s also that small hill 6km from the finish.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yes Wout, good tactics, rules 1 and 2 of cycling news forum, never do a pull and don't go on the attack!!!

Long range defence!!!

 

[ppanther92]

Man, you guys are delusional if you think WVA is going to not ride right now

Ans why should he not ride? He is the better sprinter, so gar Pogi couldn’t drop him - his greatest chance to ein this race ever.

Not entirely. Don't forget what happened before Arenberg.

He did a tactical stop. He had a flat before

 

[Salvarani]

Nice attempt at rewriting history
