Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2024, one day monument, April 6 (women's)

[Samu Cuenca]

DSM have taken charge for Georgi.

 

[Izzyeviel]

There might be one or two, so of course Marty has to educate them (I assume it was his words).

I'm pretty sure he meant to say 'cycling race' not cobbled race. Happens to the best of us!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Bak now talking about Ahtola. The guy was involved with her transfer to Uno-X, so he must be doing it on purpose.

 

[Netserk]

Kopecky swinging her hammer, only one teammate nearby.

 

[Netserk]

6 riders bridging up, now 20 riders in the first group.

 

[Netserk]

14 additional riders almost getting back too.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They didn't want to push on,but they wouldn't allow Verhulst-Wild to attack either.

 

[Didinho]

Kopecky and Wiebes won’t allowed anyone in a break today. Not many teammates to work.

Mons-en-Pévèle will be carnage.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Disgusting cowardice by van der Wolf riding in the grass to avoid the cobbles there

 

[Didinho]

Kopecky needs the team car.

 

[Andy262]

Kopecky has clearly decided she isn’t letting a break go this year

Mons-en-Pévèle will be carnage.

The fear is that the race becomes a bit like those first stages of the Women's Tour - we're still in the infancy of women's Roubaix and after last year, the bunch is clearly not keen to let a break go early and settle this, much as how the Women's Tour opening stages became absolutely dreadful after the miscalculation that handed Niewiadoma a huge lead in 2017. Luckily, unlike those terrible Women's Tour stages, there are enough things on the menu in Roubaix that a selection will be forced at some point regardless.

[Samu Cuenca]

Raging Lotte will be hard to beat.

Lotte Mechanic

Lotte Allenkey?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Raging Lotte will be hard to beat.

Revisiting your quote from Gent-Wevelgem...

Kopecky has to get rid of Wiebes, before the latter makes both of them crash on the cobbles

Georgi looks great, but I doubt she stands a chance.

Revisiting your quote from Gent-Wevelgem...

As long as she stays in front of Wiebes, I don't think the latter will make both of them crash in this race.

Maybe not both of them, but she is a bit of a wrecking ball at the best of times, and the cobbles are a great equaliser.

I fear Bjørgen gonna do Bjørgen things.

Sure, there's a great chance she will take someone down with her.

 

[Lequack]

Why does no one want to go into the breakaway? Do they just want Wiebes to win?

 

[Netserk]

Strong group with a clear gap.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Why does no one want to go into the breakaway? Do they just want Wiebes to win?

Kopecky doesn't.

 

[Lequack]

Ok we have action finally!

 

[Netserk]

Kopecky isolating herself.

 

[Didinho]

Kopecky dropped Wiebes again. Like last week.
