Paris-Roubaix Femmes, 2021 - Oct. 2nd

[jmdirt]

I see that they aren't getting an "equal" payout, but I'm OK with that for the first edition. Provide them with an "equal/similar" race this year and then next year bump the $$ up to "more equal".

I'm looking forward to seeing the femmes pound the stones!

Hell of a podium

 

[Samu Cuenca]

First female winner and first British winner of an elite version.

Brennauer came close to ELB at the end.

Chapeau to Deignan real Tommeke stuff from her.

Delighted it was the older riders fighting it out. The kids will have plenty of chances but these riders waited a whole career for this race

 

[Netserk]

Pathetic race. Hopefully this will be the first and last edition.

You are more than free to ignore it.

"There's no better person that deserves this."

To become Libertine Seguros' signature?

 

[benzwire]

It's sad that the prize money for winning Paris-Roubaix is probably not enough to buy the wheelset she rode

 

[Feticheur]

Great race, great podium

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pathetic race. Hopefully this will be the first and last edition.

Obvious troll is obvious.

 

[Breezy1985]

...the organizers: "It's the women's race, nobody really cares that much...let's give them a minimum of coverage and shi++y prize money."

She fking better get her name on the showers

I hope Ellen Van Dijk is ok. She went down hard just in front of Borghini and haven't seen her re join any of the groups yet.

I'd like to think that comment was sarcasm. Not your comment, of course.

Only got to watch the last 40K, but that was superb. What a way to win Roubaix

Congrats to Deignan. Mostly annoyed that we only got live coverage way too late. Impressive racing from her to take it up this far out.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cutting away during the winner's interview; world class coverage

 

[Volderke]

It's sad that the prize money for winning Paris-Roubaix is probably not enough to buy the wheelset she rode

time to swap to some old hand-built Ambrosio Nemesis, can be picked up for around 100 euro

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Deignan overcome with emotion as well she should be...the coverage is sh*t...mic cutting out during her interview, the actual race coverage was sub-par, camera work minimal, poor prize money. Sad they were treated as 3rd class, as those women are goddesses who walk among us.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Pathetic race. Hopefully this will be the first and last edition.

Explain me how it's pathetic

 

[Leinster]

That was just an incredible ride.

Orla says 15 finishers. There’s surely someone still out on the course or something?

 

[Izzyeviel]

What a race to miss...

 

[Sciatic]

Credit to Trek, winner and 3 in top 10. Cordon-Ragot seems the happiest of all 3 (maybe just to have survived!).

 

[gregrowlerson]

They assumed that she wasn't going to thank anyone but herself

Riders are still finishing.

 

[Baldinger]

Oh, the coverage is so bad. Why show helicopter shots of the velodrome when group after group are crossing the line? I would've liked to see some images of Uttrup Ludwig coming in 16th.
