I guess Roubaix deserves its own thread over the classics thread I put in haha.

Really excited about it.

 

[Over The Post]

It really does. That's why I created it

 

[largebus]

No Pogačar, no rain forecast, no party

With his form and a certain Slovenian not racing, tipping van der Poel

 

[yaco55]

I am interested in how Kaden Groves performs - He was super-strong at the Limburg classic, after winning two stages at Catalunya - he's got the power for the cobbles, however I question his endurance.

I'm going slightly left field and backing Sagan.

 

[Gold Rocks]

Sorry guys I’ve raced overseas and beating past winners but let’s just hope it rains to make it exciting.

So how did this appear in my notifications? Not that I’m complaining.

I’m tipping one of the Van’s, just not sure which one.

Dreaming, but I hope you are right. One of my favourite riders ever

I should workout how to transfer my 2013 tdf photos off my old Apple lap top.

I have a few close ups of Sagan in Green. Both at sign on, and on the road.

Roubaix is the one Monument that can be a bit unpredictable. Logic dictates WVA or MvdP but I'm not sure.

I think Chief rolled the 2022 thread into this one. I didn't.

 

[SBYM]

Kasper Asgreen. Said he was building for this period, top 10 last Sunday...

But probs MvdP...he's a ****ing Terminator atm...hahaha.

I can't understand why MVDP raced mid week at Schelderprijs given his history with back issues. Even though it's a dead flat sprinters race I'm not sure he needed the extra training between Flanders and this. WVA's form this year is all over the place and he admits he's not at his best. I'm really hoping Mads Pedersen has a good day.

Mads is up for it, as demonstrated last Sunday and at Milano-San Remo.

Brutal crash in the women's race, a lot of blood

 

[Over The Post]

Kasper did really well to avoid going down. Absolutely no idea who is in with a chance at this stage and only 30km to go.

 

[CURVE]

Pretty exciting finish with the pelaton closing the gap but finishing just 12 seconds behind. I was hoping one of the Aussie would sneak a victory but it wasn’t to be, I think two Aussies finished inside the top 20 which is a great effort.

Grace could have beaten Kopecky or Voss if they caught them but great job holding them off!

 

[largebus]

Right person won. Jackson was dragging them along when the rest of the group got selfish.
Bizarre tactics from Kopecky to drop her teammates with 50 km left

 

[Dan87]

Imma be chilling with Paris Roubaix tonight

The directors at Jayco are poor tacticians - Firstly, they failed to selct any of their best riders in Manly, Faulkner and Roseman-Gannon - Then they put the wrong rider/s in the break - Put Kessler in the break and she makes the final group of seven and just about wins the sprint.

I don’t know the Jayco riders too well but Roubaix should be the one race Bambie should target. I used to ride with her years ago and Adelaide and she’s a big diesel that can easily handle rough roads.

Lovely day in northern France.

Lovelier than the inane ****ing questions they ask the riders before the race.

 

[Ratcat]

Couldn't believe Podgarca climbing the Patterberg tour of Flanders last week he was making like a 250.
