Yeah it was a weird one, good conditions and the race wasn’t really on. Looked like the corner tightened up a bit and the peloton just misjudged it
I initially thought Remco got away with it as he seemed to miss the concrete tank-trap & boulders as he cyclo-crossed his way into the forest at 50km/h .
Is Remco related to Tesco?
Nah, cos Tesco actually deliver when they say they will
Landa off in the now as well.
It’s going to be last man standing
2 months to recover then maybe a month of proper training? He might be there but its surely a slim chance of winning.
Apparently there’s tree roots under he road that cause undulations in the tarmac. Local riders know it well and the organisers put a warning sign up, allegedly.
Paris-Roubaix on Quest(freeview) tonight (Sat06Apr) at 11pm
How? Doesn’t it start this morning at about 9-10am???
that will be the ladies race which was on the 6th
possibly woman’s race from yesterday
Ep2 tonight (Sun) at 11pm. I guess that will be the men’s race, but description doesn’t make it clear.
4 cobble sections down.
It looks surprisingly dry and dusty
Hitting Arenberg from pretty much a standing start isn’t going to be much fun
That looked
Awful
My wrists hurt just looking at it, can’t imagine at the speeds they’re doing
The section in Frankfurt was just awful and nothing compared to this
Alpacin Caffeine Shampoo
WTF
The faster you ride it, the “smoother” it feels - you want to be skipping over the tops of the cobbles.
Riding slowly is not pleasant and starting off on the cobbles is really hard
Is it worth tuning into a race that has MvdP to watch the last 60-90mins nowadays?
Need to watch 100km to 50km these days rather than 50km to 0km
