2022 Paris-Roubaix

Pick a good line. No longer possible.

This is brutal.

I don't understand what association Delko have to La Vie Claire. At least when Alpecin did it there was the family link.

Stannard and Durbridge still in the second group. Good, if they can bridge across they have the Durbridge long range attack in their arsenal, if not, Rob would be one of the quicker riders of that group.

In all this mud and rain, its a good day to be in front of the peloton

 

[Over The Post]

Küng not having a good day

 

[Orange Agent]

Lucky if 50 riders finish.

That many?

 

[Over The Post]

What a face plant. At least it was a soft landing.

 

[drd23]

The race is certainly living up to its nickname this year

 

[Orange Agent]

LOL. Somebody will die in the Arenberg.

Edit; that would be not funny at all.

 

[owen87]

Arenberg coming up and the riders are already absolutely battered.

brutal.

That was a nasty flip over the bars from the Confidis rider. Completely whipped from the left to right side of the road then superman-ed it into the grass.

 

[hawkman]

This is actually hilarious. There will probably be about 5 riders that don't crash today

 

[Over The Post]

First wet race in 20 years or something, isn't it? It's a classic from the '70s reborn. Awesome test for the best in the world.

Edit: just did a quick look in my archive and I've got A Sunday In Hell, the documentary of the 1976 P-R. Must check it out again

 

[eth-dog]

This is a bloodbath

 

[owen87]

And here we go.

Was this section in the Tour a few years back? The one Nibali won?

 

[Mister B]

Frighteningly, d'Arenburg looks to be the least weather effected of the sectors.

I have a vague feeling i read something the other day about them going out and cleaning it

 

[Mister B]

That was pretty ******* ordinary from Rowe. Complete lack of awareness.

 

[Over The Post]

Nasty fall for the last guy in the train there, seemed to get up OK though

2014

 

[eth-dog]

Good tactics from MvDP there

2014

Yep, that one.

Race winning moment in the Forrest. Perfect.
