Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[Gratemans]

Ok this was pretty beautiful

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pozzato never won that!!!

 

[ppanther92]

Don't even know what Pogacar was doing there.

Having nothing left or what line do you think would have helped him to overcome a sprint gap of 10-20m?

 

[RobertCrawley]

I am verklempt, I have to admit.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Congrats to mighty Wout on finally winning PR! Pogacar wasnt strong enough today, close but no cigar. Bad luck for Mattieu but this is Paris-Roubaix, he fought well

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Tbh I completely lost interest once it was clear that all the mechanicals weren't going to have any impact and it was just between two riders and teams that I have zero interest in seeing win, but congratulations to van Aert for finally getting the proverbial monkey off his back and finally winning that cobblestone that had been missing from his résumé for years.

 

[KoopaCycling]

You see. So much crying, it's unbearable to follow the races in those trheats

Not gonna lie, was not expecting such a perfect sprint from WVA. hoping for it, happy as bleep cause of it

 

[Didinho]

Wout’s best sprint in years.

Now they will say nothing about Graava system.

 

[noob]

The way we screamed in this room OMG

 

[Skalman]

Pog didn't give himself the best chance, should have been on the wheel.

Would not have mattered Wout a class better today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Silly Van Aert for working with Pogacar as well.

Disgusting, never pull on the front

Bissegger the moral winner of the race.

 

[Salvarani]

Pog didn't give himself the best chance, should have been on the wheel.

Van Aert didnt take another turn, so he was stuck on the front

Dont think it would have mattered here at all though

Van Aert followed really well on the last sectors and looked very strong

 

[nightowl]

What a beautiful race, and what an amazing winner. Genuine tears in my eyes

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

YESSS WOUT!!! cycling is back, at least for today

You talk as if hes is a rider of Total Energies and not Wout, who perpetrated the 2022 Tour with that indescribable Visma.

 

[canina82]

Pog didn't give himself the best chance, should have been on the wheel.

Played it like an amateur but his legs were gone though

Holy ***, 49kmh is so insane

 

[Andy262]

I wonder if Pog will skip De Ronde next year to focus on this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bissegger getting misspelled on the results screen in one of the best achievements of his career...

 

[Danskebjerge]

Mads Pedersen did too much work in the last 20 kilometers. It cost him the top 5, possibly the podium.

 

[KOM]

Last time I cried cause of cycling was Roglic' Giro MTT, cried harder this time

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ah great now we can catch the last 5 minutes of the women's race

 

[benzwire]

It would not have been right if Wout didn't win Paris-Roubaix in his career. Thank God he did it!

 

[canina82]

This was also the best chance Pogacar could have asked for, even with the chase before Arenberg not having to deal with Van der Poel is a unique opportunity. He may have to wait for this generation of Flandriens to grow old before he completes the monument quintuple.

He needs to improve the way he turns on those cobbles.
