FL
FlyingEagle50 1 May, 09:48 Ou peut on suivre le classement en live svp
53km/h? can that really be right?
FE
FearlessNinja55 1 May, 10:01 I think the distance marker is wrong. They cannot possibly have covered 200km already?
FE
FearlessNinja55 1 May, 10:01 Should be around 32km/h or something.
first aid station is marked at 115km
which the women just passed
mby the distance in the graphics is to the next feed zone/aid station
Just joined, whats the gap to the front of the mens race?
2027: men need to start more than 10 mins ahead of women. Women were trying to get around the men from km 10 and it was impeding their race.
Oh, I see now, Mads & Beers 5mins down. Already???

ZI
ZippySpinner24 1 May, 10:51 It’s effectively cheating, right?
The pro men who had been dropped were not told to get out of the way at km 12-15 when they were in the way of women trying to attack. This is a huge issue.

BR
burza na rowerze 1 May, 11:05 Burza gogogogog
ok seperate waves? women first?
The pro men started at 5:50. Pro women at 6:00. By km 12, the pro women had caught many of the “pro” men and had to constantly try to get around larger groups of men on the first climbs. Can we have a higher standard for what constitutes starting as a “pro”.
ZI
ZippySpinner24 1 May, 11:10 It’s opt in, no?
FW
Front Wheel 1 May, 11:11 > Can we have a higher standard for what constitutes starting as a “pro”.
FW
Front Wheel 1 May, 11:12 sorry. I meant that the difference between the first finisher and the last even in TdF is enormous, so ...
it was just that 10min time gap wasn't enough. but then gotta wait for the feedback from the riders themselves. maybe they dont mind, why should we merely as spectators.
every gravel race recap i listened too was like,
"we had o go through the slower men, that sucks"
@shane, the women mind. 😂 they have been asking for more space for quite some time.
FW
Front Wheel 1 May, 11:20 yup. Or they may try to have a slightly different or wider course for the first 30kms?
The course is plenty wide the first 30km, so I do think the issue is the 30 men who checked the “pro” box when registering. 😂 I know some of them and…they are nice humans, but not pros.

Front Wheel 1 May, 11:25 did he forgot to unclip!? well, pros are regular people then! :)

Mads switched rear tire. It was not for a mechanical. It was mostlikely to change tire width and tread as the last 1154KM are much different than the first half of the race. Tires are that important. His lead is proving the decision was stellar

SoaringPhoenix28 1 May, 16:05 a sick band name
also do you think a sleek40mm will be able to ride this course (probably not)
i don't think 4 inflatable arches is enough. we need one for every brand in the industry. enough to make a tunnel
i like the idea of a tire being sleek but not slick lol
Not as extensive as road because my guess is not as many are on adams/whereabouts.
все прекрасно но где наш кабан
In world tour they have”biological passport “. They can be tested each day of the year. Not just after the race like in gravel. Gravel dope testing is like at least 20 years behind road
this is sick but can we see the women's race now pls? 🥺👉👈

No guilt watching 10-12 hours of a race as a productive day.
split up pretty far while we were watching the men's
MA
MaesterOfTheCitadel 1 May, 16:22 Were the gaps this big last year?
Paris-Roubaix was one of the best races I’ve seen.
With all the sugar the Pros eat during the race, do they immediately brush their teeth afterward? (Ted King does, lol)
i heard that George Washington was a gravel pro, which is why he had wooden teeth. his original ones fell out after eating 120g carbs/hours
They scare me. Probably the kids, too.
is that why he cut down that tree, to make teeth?
Except the first bike wasn’t until 1817. So, there’s that.
SO
SoaringPhoenix28 1 May, 16:27 thats the official story
How on gravel Earth did a bike with exposed cables win?!? Impossible
Roughly how many watts do the top women pull on avg during the whole race?
Like an Unbound gravel finish sprint.

6’2”?! That must be a record in and of itself.
My (bad) coach used to tell me two things:
1) 2nd place is 1st loser.
2) If you’re not throwing up on the bike, you’re not doing it right.
sounds like a bad coach indeed
She was training for the Olympic Pentathlon team. She didn’t make it. Go figure.
he never raced gravel. 10 hours of work a day is not a loser atr any place
Oddly, though, she taught me how to pee on the bike. Not pretty.
She looks smoothe, plenty of energy.
oh it's coming through alright
And a really, really cool bike.

Emily is back in Lifetime again this yaer.
can't say for pro, I ride 40/11-44
sounds like a good gear ration, sub-1
OB
observatoer 1 May, 17:05 Most on SRAM are 46/10-52 and vary the chanring course to course
Right. Just curious about this course. Unbound, had 38/10-52 and still felt like I needed lower gear at times, lo.
I don't think the moto was supposed to follow G down that last section.
You have to carry your bike up steps afterwards.
The camera bike with Rosa did not follow and cut across to join her after.
less water in the river than last year.
Love this section beside the Ter river.
