Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2023, one day monument, April 8 (women's)

[Samu Cuenca]

Who would you say have the best riders in the break?

Alison Jackson and Lisa Klein are probably the strongest riders on paper, but neither Trek nor SD Worx should be willing to let the group survive until the end.

Susanne Andersen shouldn't be underestimated either, but I'm not sure of her form after her latest injury.

 

[glassmoon]

Vos chances over? no team mates around, 6 down on the peloton,after that puncture slow bike change

was 6 down on the 1st group/leader
30s on the peloton

 

[Netserk]

It seems Trek are riding tempo, merely holding a good position on the cobbles. I take it they wait for SD Works to reel in the break?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Feels like it took way too long for Vos to be back, why wasn't a teammate dropped earlier to help her?

 

[Netserk]

Vos didn’t get to move up in time, she is in the second group after the split on the pavé.

Probably. But teams are really going to have co-operate with such small numbers in the lead chase group.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Balsamo put the hammer down and take 40s out of the breakaway. But to me still seems very big gap?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hengeveld made a name for herself with some solo breakaways during the 2021 season, so isn't exactly the best rider to give big gap, but there's still plenty of time to catch her if the teams behind work together.

Vos didn’t get to move up in time, she is in the second group after the split on the pavé.

She had to spend a LOT to get back; this is not the Voss of old and that's going to have cost her more than she could afford I'm afraid. And Coryn will be gassed now and not available later; not Jumbo's plan obviously.

Yeah, she's basically riding her finale already. So bummed for her; she is running out of time.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Really wish Shirin was riding.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Could they please show G2 instead of Vos all the time? I know she's the biggest name, but she is done. Dangling 30s behind for over half an hour now.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Doesn't look like Vos is going to make it back. It is so hard to watch that chase...it sucks to be that close, and not quite being able to bridge. Ugh.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Kopecky attack and immidiately a crash behind

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Kopeky looks so smooth on the bike compared to those trying to stay in her wheel

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Chiara Consonni is in the favourites group man I am so happy about that. Gooooooooooooooo

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Koch working for Gerogi would have amde sense if Hengeveld wasn't leading the race. But she'll get caught now, so that isn't good news for the break.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Hengeveld caught and we wouldn't have a clue who's still there because they haven't shown their chasers for almost an hour.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Hengeveld caught and we wouldn't have a clue who's still there because they haven't shown their chasers for almost an hour.

Yes my friend the info's about the race situation is not so good, have only seen Hengevelt and Vos for a lot of the last 30km

 

[postmanhat]

Never seems to have much luck in this race. Probably the biggest gap in her palmares

 

[RedheadDane]

Never seems to have much luck in this race. Probably the biggest gap in her palmares

But as the Danish commentators pointed out; wonder how many times she could have won it, if it had been started just 10 years ago.

 

[JosefK]

A Kopecky stomp is looking possible.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Oh crop

 

[Lequack]

Big crash.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Entire Favorites group crashed

 

[Volderke]

carnage.
