>>154204693Depends who's available and it all rides on Seixas as things stand but he seems happy and he's built good relationships within his team from what I heard. Lipowitz is tied up with red bull but he's not that level. Currently there are no other riders that show that sort of ability other than Seixas. Burrito looks promising but he seems inconsistent and quite retarded. He's not empirical like poogacar either so he's not really a successor. Agian it all lies on Seixas and Decalthon are obliged to offer him whatever he wants and continue to build a strong squad around him. Their performance is way better now than previously so they're definitely proving themselves as a very viable team. Add to that they are French and French cycling was in crisis for years, Seixas also should feel obligation to stay with them and win the tour with a french team.

Big congrats to Wout, but shoutout to Mads P though man, fucking 7th. This dude was in a chute catastrophalé like 2 months ago. Broken wrist, broken collar. Dude is placing top 10 in monuments as his recovery. What a comeback
>>154207440That other Dane (the one who builds kitchen cabinets) pushes his best numbers a few months after almost dying. Mads is weak.
*ahem*FUCK WOUT
>>154207765picrel
now we just need a mads monument, a wout world championship and a remco tdf
>>154207765van der Poel deserved it more. Van Aert fans are insufferable. But Roubaix is luck-based, thus van Aert wins it, while van der Poel is 4th, despite van der Poel being hands down the vetter runner.Ronde is more predictive of runner quality, as shown by its podium this year.
>>154207871grug would've been 2min ahead of pogi and wout if he hadn't punctured, but that's just how roubaix is

>>154207871Pogi had a flat, car right behind him, 10 s gap.Wout flat, car further back, 30s gap.Jappe shouldn't be riding the prototype pedals knowing well that he's the most likely to be close to mvdp.If Wout was,'t good he wouldnt be in Pogi's wheel and Matje could close the gap against solo Pogi.You can find reasons for 1 or the other everywhere. In the end it's part of cyclismo and it was a great race with a winner that deserved it.
>>154207871they all deserved it really, pogacar suffered just as much as mvdp because he had lots of mechanicals, had to burn up most of his team to get back and do a big pull himself, and then florian vermeersch chuted in the arenberg forest so he didn't have a trusted helper late in the racei think it's the first time mvdp had a race-affecting mechanical in paris roubaix as far as i can remember (crevaisons are partly a skill issue so thats why vdp probably has so few of them)
>>154207177>TwiceLook at the pic in the OP and count again.
Anyone got pictures/webms of when Allah crashed into arenberg and disappeared into the woods kek
>>154207871Love it when the slavs cope about their boy not winning. The arrogance and entitlement of it. Van Aert also had to chase back on when poogacar was in front, it's all a muchness really. Other than Van Der Poel, the results were very accurate in terms of the best on the day.
>>154208042Don't take me for some blind Pogacar fan. He was not the favourite today, and I agree with this prediction. It is that van der Poel did not even podium is what shows Roubaix should be taken more as proof of luck, than of runner quality.Compare with Lombardia: whoever wins it, is more likely to be the best at climby classics, than the winner of Roubaix is at flat cobbles. The top 10 at Lombardia will be highly correlated with the top climbers in the race. More predicatable, yes, but also thus better evidence of rider capability.
Toon Aerts finished 38th today
>>154208272>He was not the favourite todayholy cope its off the scale
ciclismo is backmotorsports (esp. F1) going to get dabbed on by cycling>>154208272it's partially luck but the riders can also do much to manage risk. and when shit happens, not throw a hissy fit and instead get back in the game
Ganna was really unlucky today. Oh wait actually he sat at the back like a fucking moron constantly, got caught out, road through puddles of glass and finished 8 minutes down. Luck is such a cope. Roubaix is an IQ and test of determination.
>>154207871this entire post lol
>all it takes is an unprecedented amount of mechanicals and two bike swaps to just barely beat pog
I can’t fucking stand this team
>>154208948Remember in the tour where they blamed losing the stage on dehydration? Then the parasocial faggots had him emphasising drinking on the podium. Very pathetic behaviour. When this slav cunt retires they're fucked. Most entitled arrogant people in the sport by far.
>>154208752it was clearly an act of divine intervention
>Pogi lost>Orban losttoday has been a good day
>>154208948When they comment like this after every other race its gets a bit ridiculous.
>>154209236I can't believe it finally happend after all these years and he finally lost. Imagine all the suffering he has been responsible for. All the progress he has stood in the way of. All the shit he has done over the years. Europe should absofuckinglutely be done with quasi soviet bloc dictators at this point in 2026. Unironically a victory for Europe and the west in general.Oh and I guess it's nice Orban lost too.
>>154208948this grandpa ain't winning another tdf
>>154209494and just who is going to beat him this summer
Kudos to WvA, no doubt. He really deserves this win, even though I was cheering for Pogacar and felt a bit sad that he didn't win this one. Specially that we will not have another opportunity of a rider winning all 5 in one season in many years to come, or maybe never again.I wonder now if Paris-Roubaix will be the new Milan-Sanremo to Pogi. Trying every year untill he wins.He is still on track to win 4 monuments in one season, and that also never happened in cycling history.

>>154211034when I go to worlds in montreal in september should I make a sign that says "opibert, omibert"
>>154209665r*ddit actually
I would take Pogacar coming in 3rd, just so it is not van Aert one of those who beats him. van der Po was clearly the best runner in the race, but his timeloss was much greater due to where he suffered a flat, an event that can't be influenced by skill and capabilities, but is instead down to pure luck.
>>154215573Time to let it go friend, this is the life of Paris Roubaix. Worst riders than wout have won it
One of the best races of the modern era.>>154215573>t. SlovenianWout is top tier and won fair and square. Alpecin was extremely foolish to use mismatched experimental cleats, and both MVDP and Tadej’s experimental setups proved detrimental (both sh*mano)
>>154215670which part of pogis setup was experimental?
>>15421567535mm front tire, unofficial 1x drivetrain
>>154215573cycling isn't purely about who does the most watts per kg. If it was, it would be extremely boring to watch, which it increasingly is because everyone rides looking on their power meter. Cycling is also about tactics and having a bit of luck. Yesterday luck was on Wout's side and deserved the win. He made the race and he played out his tactical leverage on Pogashart to perfection
>>154215670>>154215683The drivetrain didn't cause him issues and neither did the big tires. He got a couple of punctures but that's just luck in Roubaix.
>>154215741>He made the raceHe had like one half attack and then sucked wheels. His team was very good and he got lucky, but that's the majority of roubaix's win
>>154215770wout was the best rider yesterday AND he had luck on his side. Even his body language confirmed he was the best. And he absolutely obliterated pogashart in the sprint
>>154215573No it was maximum fun yesterday, PR magic is that you can never predict who wins as puncture reaper awaits everyone and at every moment around the corner
>>154215780lmao
>>154215780it's alright wout
heh, Pogi just needs to eat more.
Who Wout have thought
>>154215793Fun is when result matches capabilities. Last year was so, van der Poel avoided crashes, but Pogacar did not, and avoiding crashes is a skill. This year where runners' tires got flats was decisive, but avoiding flats on narrow cobbled secrions is not a skill.
>>154215890That's the opposite of fun. Sport needs to be somewhat unpredictable. Il Lombardia is a race where the result matches capabilities. It's also fucking shite.
>>154215809>>154215815the simple fact is that everyone loved that wout won:https://sporza.be/nl/2026/04/12/totale-extase-en-zelfs-tranen-hele-wereld-viert-zege-van-aert-maar-vooral-deze-italianen-gaan-he-le-maal-los~1776026760542/Wout haters are subhuman and most likely jewish
>>154215890I don't think it's a coincidence that MVDP is usually so lucky in not gtting flats. Even yesterday he did only have issues on Arenberg, I think there is some skill in being able to not ride in the parts of the roads with least chance of flatting
The last 5 years of cycling have been easily more entertaining than the previous 10. Just sayin
Still sad that Wout won yesterday
>>154215920>Lance>Contador>Vroome>PogCycling always needs a good villain
this didn't work that well
>>154215913I don't care that wout won and I'm glad pogi didn't win he needs as much challenge as possible. I'm just laughing at people saying wout was the strongest.>Wout haters are subhuman and most likely jewishAh I see, still drunk?
I feel like the popularity of Wouts win really shows how tired everyone really is of Pog winning almost everything, even the people that cope by talking about how fantasic it is to witness one of the greatest of all time.If you wanted Pog to win you dont actually like cycling
>>154215956If Pog wasn't in the race everyone would still be ecstatic about Wout winning it. Y'all are deluded if you don't think Wout is loved by most. btw so is Pog.
>>154215956People have been saying "Wout deserves a monument win" since before pogi even started to think about roubaix
>>154215933why do you reckon there were so many flats in general? I think it was mostly snake bites by the unusually high speeds on the cobbles
Funny how the Danes have to pretend to care about Wout to hate on Pogacar because their boy can't beat him for the last 3 years
>>154215974I'm a certified Wout hater after this shit he pulled on Jonas last summer. But the enemy of my enemy is also my friend, so right now Wout is my friend.
woke up with a massive hangover but still felt like frodo
>>154215914Last year Wout had a flat in Arenberg iirc. I think that's why he was ripping it up in the front yesterday. If you take the lead on that section, you can anticipate the worst bumps and control your speed and you can't get fucked by riders in front of you crashing or doing silly stuff.
>>154215973I would like to see comparative statistics between last year and this one 2bh. maybe number of mechanicals were roughly the same, but favorites were more affected this year. it did seems like this year flat galore was rather unusual.
>>154215982>'m a certified Wout hater after this shit he pulled on Jonas last summerthe shit he pulled on jonas? You mean that he restored what little was left of visma's honour?
>>154215996He abandoned his captain. Probably a mangement decision but still. What a dumbass.
>>154216007look, you try to pin it on wout all you want but in the end pogacar was just too doped to be beaten and we all knw it

>>154214743FDJ in the gutter too. They've fallen off a cliff in recent years.
>>154216074they just need to alter the route a little. skip some of the pavé and do a little loop around Mont Cassel/Mont Noir instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbFymZceHKQNow Wout anthem dropped last night
Thinking about it more, it is actually that the clearly weaker runner was the one who beat Pogacar today. Had vdP won yesterday, it would be interpreted as Pogacar losing on skill and capability. But with mere van Aert beating Pogacar, and vdP not even podiuming, future historians of road cycling, will correctly interpret this Roubaix as coming down to luck.The biggest immediate loser is of course vdP, but he too will benefit from this future judgement.
>>154216338every roubaix is a lottery

>>154217999did you mean green house?
>>154217999Organizing you're /cyc/ folder is eventually such a tedious job it's better to just give up
>>154217785a LOT of people are like>I am akhtually a really BIG fan of the best cyclist/team/footballerit has less to do with dopacar and more with this mentally. they previously were BIG fans of FROOME and will be BIG fans of whoever comes after pogacar
>>154218059kek>>154218067Sometimes I scroll up and down my folder a dozen times, because I know I have that one good one with the expression that would work perfectly. Only to end up picking a half good squeaker almost at random :(
>>154218087Cringe womanly behaviour siding with the strongest? Yeah that sums up a lot of his fans. Poogacar fans are midwits at best. A lot of italians, americans and spanish fans I notice. Slop nations of halfwits.
Looks like some Berts have severe Fleche Wallonne fever. Extra potent this year with the great Seixas competing.
>>154218265If pogi isn't there this will be too easy. I have LIEGE fever, never thought I would say this
>>154218087Luved Lance, 'ated Froome, luv Pogacar. You wouldn't get it
These are the legs of the best cyclist of all time
>>154218361this is why you wear long socks. ankle socks expose you
>>154217999
>>154218361I see more chiseled calves on random sunday rides. pogi's legs must just be the max. achievable by a clean WADA-tested rider
>>154218428Kek. Cyc pros are so fucking dorky.
wtf is this true berts
>>154218361lighting, fat % and pump matters.
>>154218564>the reference for the last claimsIf science says so, who are you to doubt
>>154218564amanda coker holds a bunch of z2 world records so it's not that crazy
Video of Pogacar waiting for a bike change, and reluctantly accepting the Shimano.
>>154218648based shimanoman. he was so happy to have something to do.
>>154218661Where was he when grug needed him? Dude would probably have won the race on that bike
Vindicated
>>154218679It's a nice bike too
>>154218648it's funny how chaotic and bonkers and dangerous and stupid this race is but we collectively accept that once a year we get to send some of the best riders in the world to risk season-ending injuries and things happen that would lead to a SafeR investigation any other raceit's basically like The Purge
>>154218648>all these motorised vehicles holding up the runners behind because of muh PogiFucking hell.
>>154218615Squeaker science says it ain't so
>Wout van ShartI re-watched the finish. Now that the dust has settled it was actually a pretty slurpy way to win. Wheelsuck the entire finale and then attack on the last 400 meter.
>>154218981>initiated the attack>had his team as leverage>stuck with the strongest rider in the world despite many attacks>flawless technical and tactical performanceYou do not pull hard with that rider on your wheel, much less if you have a strong sprinter behind. He rode the race in a perfect manner and also had a mishap which poogacar made sure to make count by pulling hard to ensure it was harder for him to return. Wout was hands down the strongest on the day. His team played well, he put in a great performance and showed tactical composure. If you think it's slurpy, then maybe you can slurp the sub saharan cum off urska's cunt along with poogacar. Do not try to downplay this victory.

>>154218929that's not the same thing though. I specifically asked if women can keep up with men in zone 2 specifically.
>>154219181what are you planning on doing bert
>>154219237I want to know if it's realistic to take my gf on long z2 rides and expect her to keep up.
>>154219401Depends on the gf. How do your FTPs compare? How long would the ride be? etc.
>>154219418she's very fit for a girl, probably top 1%, so in theory, if jewgle is correct, she should be able to keep up.
Not sure if you guys can help. I'm looking to buy a bike for my 3 year old. At first I thought I'd piece together a build, but it seems like the most expensive option the more I research. Would picrel be good for a first bike? So I go with a coaster brake or hand brake?
>>154219866>using pedals
>>154218648This is one of the rare times I saw a rider actually accepting a shimano bike. I don't understand why so many will rather stand there, and wait 2 minutes for their car. I understand it's not optimal if it's not your bike, but any bike is still faster than you standing there waiting.
>>154219866I don't see why not. There are loads of different bikes on the market. That seems fine for the motion and balance. You could get a balance bike like >>154219884 but they are much cheaper than that pic. Remember they'll grow out of it very quickly, so it might be worth investigating a second hand bike but they are not super cheap because they tend to be in good condition, again because they're not used a lot because of the age. By the time they're 5 make sure they've got gears though, it makes it a lot more fun for a kid. Frog Bikes is a great brand if you can get them in america. They're in my opinion the best kids bikes.
>>154220063Guess rider in those cases bank on being brought back by their teammates. PR's chaos definitely makes it the best choice to take the bike.But yeah it is a bit ridiculous. Just how bad can they be?
>>154219437It's actually true that women are better in endurance. But we're talking very long, like quadruple marathon long. Their intensity is low though. So it takes a long time for the men to start falling off.Else women would be riding the same distances than men, but they don't, they get junior distances.If you're planning to ride around Europe with your bike, she'll be crying in the beginning and you will be crying by the end.
was it grug that tried to get on a manlet bike and then gave up? LMAO
>>154219866Why in god's holy name would anyone be so fucking retarded to buy a brand new bike for a 3 year old.The kid doesn't give a fuck about how fancy it looks, he's 3. And the fucker will grow out of it in a few years anyways.Just get any 2nd handed or flee market stuff.Paypiggy's are the worst.
>>154220155why are you hating on remco's bike
>>154220155Don't forget you're european and 300 euro is a lot to us. That bike costs fuck all for most americans. And honestly this would be the first thread on this site that I'd image would recommend getting a decent kids bike so the kid can enjoy cycling. I would happily spend 400 on a kids bike if I knew it'd give them a better experience. Don't be so cynical and heartless.
>>154219866I wouldn't overthink it. That bike looks fine.
>>154220199My dad got me a rusty old bike basic bike without gears, from the street when I was 6. He painted it and put racing handlebars on it. I enjoyed the fuck out of it. Rode the Kemmelberg for the first time on that bike.All a kid needs to imagine he's a cyslist is handlebars. Just like i'd imagine being a motorcycle with a playing card in my spokes.
>>154220124What bike are they now? used to be Origine I think. might be Canyon nowusually it doesn't matter waiting longer for your spare. then you just draft the cars back to the peloton
>>154220146More likely, he smacks his knee on the handlebar and fractures his patella
>>154220384>knee on the handlebarsad Pinot noises
>>154220391LMFAO
Another victim of the TIRE
>>154220505>rough dayum, that's because he was abducted by the shimano car?

close one
>>154220819Site was down after the race. I wonder how those are calculated.
>>154219401>>154219437This is about the individual fitness levels of you and your gf, some generalized statistical average is completely irrelevant. If you already have comprehensive fitness data for the both of you, compare that. Otherwise, just try it.And there's always the option of her sucking your wheel to save many watts.
I would die for Wout
Stuyven 3rd seems to have gone under the radar. Of course we all saw it but it's not been mentioned really. That's a brilliant result for him and the team.
>Marc Madiot stepped downMassive shame
>>154220129>It's actually true that women are better in enduranceThis is actually not true at all. You got tricked by journos making generality out very niche events where one women was better than the men
>>154220919>data blablablaBert, not everything has be a fucking science thesis. I just wanted to know to what standard I can roughly hold my gf when it comes to cycling, more or less. She's very fit for a girl so moderate zone 2 should be fine. >>154221317>That's a brilliant result for him and the team.I took note but it was overshadowed by Wout. Well done Jasper, I'm bummed they didn't show how he attacked that grouplet.

>Arnaud De Lie is expected to leave Lotto Intermarche, with Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe, Soudal Quick-Step, Alpecin-Fenix, and Tudor being the options for him in the future.>The Tudor team said their main goal for this transfer window is to bring in some good sprinters to their roster. Their top sprinter Arvid de Kleijn has not raced a single race this year and nobody knows what is with him. And they have only one win so far this year. >De Lie is the main target, but they are also in talks with Groves from Alpecin or Bittner from Picnic.

>>154225061>Vršič Bless you.
He should stop doing Lombardia after this year. 6 participations for 6 wins

>Paul Seixas, a matter of state: Macron would convince him to renew with Decathlon and reject UAE, in a similar operation to Mbappé's with PSG>Emmanuel Macron reportedly became deeply involved. As Eurosport Spain learned during the Itzulia Basque Country race , the President of the French Republic offered his full support to the Decathlon team for the contract renewal , and also spoke directly with the manager of the Lyon-born rider, who in turn is demanding a strong team around him. The salary of his new contract is unknown, but it will place him among the highest-paid riders in the peloton, not far from the eight million euros earned by Tadej Pogačar.not so fast UAEchuds

>>154224692If they're reasonably fit and you're not racing bikes you can most likely do Z2 rides with your gf no problem. They might have to draft you, especially on headwind stretches for the pace to be good for both. I've had really good rides with my mom and dad. My dad can keep up with a normal bike on flat ground and with both of them on ebikes there's no problem riding up mountains. With ebikes they're the ones that have to slow down on climbs. The first time we were on a ride like that my mom did a sulphurous pull on the first climb, I was doing over 500 W to keep up in her draft until she slowed down. Up the rest of the climb I was doing 5 W/kg and she was leisurely riding her 20 kg upright ebike next to me without breaking a sweat.
>>154225932Very good! He has had a great season so far. Hoping for more.
