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

[Winnen]

Why is van Dijk not riding?

 

[Didinho]

Some pistiers sprinting on the track in Roubaix. Kopecky defensive now, she lost some explosiveness this year.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Mass Sprint in the veledrom, let's go

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Group 2 isn't that coherent, so it might not come back.

 

[Andy262]

Bollox,

 

[Winnen]

Strong sprint by Kopecky.

 

[red_flanders]

Wow! Awesome. Great win.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That was like a keirin sprint.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Fantastic win!!

WC wins...2 for 2 tomorrow? Prolly.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Victory for Obelix in northern France.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vos not on the podium.

 

[Izzyeviel]

third for Pfeiffer despite being taking out by her teammate.

Victory for Obelix in northern France.

Uh...wow. Fairly brutal nickname there, eh?

 

[Mayomaniac]

They way she carried that speed out of the corner was impressive.
Balsamo was cooked in the end, you can't even say that she and Vos started their sprint that early.

 

[DNP-Old]

That was a very boring race, which isn't strange with this suboptimal weather.

 

[Wvv]

Lovely, Lotte! What a world champion she is.

They started in the headwind. Kopecky had the slipstream but was the strongest in the end.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Uh...wow. Fairly brutal nickname there, eh?

It's a reference to a nickname given to Marit Bjørgen, whose exploits I've already conflated Lotte with for a while.

Wasn't Marit Hulk Hogan?

Very happy Brit 😊 I was worried when Kopecky came round she was going to end up 4th after such a brilliant ride, but yeah Vos just ran out of oomph at the end there

 

[Samu Cuenca]

We've had four editions and four different races. This was the worst one so far. It became too much like the gravel stage in the first Tour de France Femmes, where the pace was high on the gravel, but disappeared in-between.

Trek having Van Dijk also made a big difference, but the mind games between Kopecky and Vos were the most crucial element, apart from the weather.

 

[awavey]

Wasn't Marit Hulk Hogan?

Maybe a thread for the clinic

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Vos lost this race in Omloop and DDV.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Wasn't Marit Hulk Hogan?

Among other things.

In fairness, Lotte's attitude is more Hogan than Obelix.

 

[Lequack]

Seeing Vos not win it in the end be like
