Paris - Roubaix: April 14th, 2019

[Logic-is-your-friend]

If Gilbert wins, he didn't steal it. But Politt... fooling everyone.

 

[Flamin]

Sick, Gilbert about to win 4 of the 5 monuments

 

[Gigs_98]

All those kilometers just to end up with Gilbert and politt again :lol:

 

[glassmoon]

Sep mechanical?

 

[rick james]

No, sep needs a new bike

 

[Simurgh]

ever the unlucky one, vanmarcke

 

[Rollthedice]

Sagan just switched off.

 

[jsem94]

Sep with a puncture...

 

[Saint Unix]

Sep's been riding on Langeveld's bike this whole time?!

Re: Re:

Vanmacke is the unluckiest rider in the peloton.

 

[Bolder]

Sagan just missing that 1-2 percent this year. It's not over yet but not looking good for his group of 3...

 

[Salvarani]

Sagan a lot better today, chapeau


Gilbert vs Politt for the win

 

[Vroome.exe]

Please Phil don't finish 2nd

 

[Pricey_sky]

Sagan just got cooked really fast.

Very unlucky mechanical for Sep.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Politt is doing too much work...

 

[Gigs_98]

So, how is 36 y.o. Gilbert's sprint?

 

[Velolover2]

Phil doesn't weight 69 kg anymore. He must have bulked up for this race.

I still think that Politt will win.

 

[Saint Unix]

So, how is 36 y.o. Gilbert's sprint?

It won't come to a sprint. Gilbert will outsmart Politt and come in alone.

 

[Salvarani]

So, how is 36 y.o. Gilbert's sprint?

Age has nothing to do with it right now though

If he has better legs right now than Politt is the question

 

[Velolover2]

So, how is 36 y.o. Gilbert's sprint?

Former puncheur vs. a young, heavy lead-out man.

I'd go with the latter.

Re:

Please not another QS majority win

I dont really consider this a qs majority win, if gilbert wins.

Nah but it could have been at the time when I wrote that post. Right now it is just pure strength that has determined the front duo

Why not? They took turns attacking from a group in which they had the majority

 

[jsem94]

Gilbert pushnig a monster gear.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Luckilly Jumbo made the tactically sound decission to leave Van Aert to do all the chasing on his own!
