Paris - Roubaix: April 14th, 2019

[Saint Unix]

Gilbert is hungry. Would not be shocked if he manages to take this. Has a huge advantage over the others in the front group because of his racing smarts. Will count massively as this gets closer to the line.

Lampaert knows Vanmarcke only wins when hell freezes over.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Wout is gone

 

[Pricey_sky]

Sep and Van Aert (understandably) look finished. All Gilbert has done has cost his teammate.

 

[Gigs_98]

Don't think politt can follow them on the cobbles. He was dropped by Gilbert before

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Benoot is ok (in the hospital).

 

[IndianCyclist]

Team should have used somebody to pace Wout earlier

Yeah he shouldn't work and wait for him

Lampaert can still bridge here; especially if Gilbert eases off a bit on his turns.

yep

 

[benzwire]

The Carrefour section will be awesome.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Sagan should have this.

 

[glassmoon]

Wout dead. But great ride today, such a tough cookie. Chapeau.

Nah, "strive for 5" is too strong in this one

 

[Pricey_sky]

Meanwhile the bunch appear to have given up, having got the gap down to 50s they’ve now sat up and it’s almost 90s

Re:

Paris Roubaix, the race that turns Wout van Aert into Kittel

First I thought what is this bs, but I figuredyou meant that he got dropped on the uphill of a bridge

 

[spalco]

Sagan should attack I think, kill off Lampaert.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Please not another QS majority win

Yes, I was not talkinb about the sprinting part

 

[Flamin]

Ffs someone tell Gilbert to calm the *** down.

 

[Velolover2]

Politt to survive and win the sprint. He is wasting the least energy by sitting on the wheels of them.

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagan should attack.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Back to 5 again up front

 

[trucido]

Now DQS's (and Belgium's) to lose.
