Paris-Roubaix 2026, one day monument, April 12

[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.

 

[E_F_]

Time to tally up the asterisks

*** yes
Thank ***

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

The way we screamed in this room OMG

My voice is gone for the rest of the day!

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Today there's no criticism that the slowest and most coocked cyclist took turns at the frot .Sometimes we should try to be a little more objective.

It's been a bit sad to see so much complaining in this thread. It was clear that Pogacar was more coocked and that Van Aert was faster.

 

[Lorzenz08]

Pogi was cooked last 25km no way he could win a sprint here

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

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

Hopefully, it's Vos

 

[QueenStagiaire]

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

They did the fastest ever Edition to have more time

 

[KoopaCycling]

Race of the year already. Nothing will top this. Not cause there can't be more exciting races, but simply cause wout got Roubaix.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Great to see Les Battersby there congratulating him at the finish

They should have hired Mick Carter or Dot Cotton.

 

[entre nous]

Quite a lousy win. Has to send an expensive bottle to Pogi

Pogacar was doing all the work. Van Art was only wheelsucking and whenever he was in Front the gap imidiately started going down.
