Nice to hear the voice of Paul Sherwin who sadly passed away last week.. thank you for your very professional commentary may you Rest In Piece .... Paul
@@dw-kf5fd We will be forever reminded of this fact that he is gone. I just posted that i miss paul on a clip from 2010 Worlds where thor won and he was commenting. Eurosport now thinks they have their "man" in that jerk called kirby. As if i want to know what the fuck he had for lunch during his commentary stint doing eh tour de france.
Wilfried Peeters was a BEAST in this and so many other races! He was the epitome of a super-domestique...always doing yeomans work for his leaders, always there to the very end, but only getting on the podium a few times in his career.

Watching this as my Fuji Roubaix sits on my rollers in front of me. Been down for a week with a sinus infection, would much rather be riding the Roubaix.
It’s sort of funny to hear Phil and Paul talk about how dangerous the conditions are and yet maybe a third of the lead group in the first hour aren’t wearing helmets. Things have definitely changed.
With all the entertainment of the race, listening to Liggett and Sherwen (RIP), even more entertainment comes from the bizarrely interpreted captioning. Vive Peru Bay!
today's modern pampered pros have no idea what it's like to ride a proper P-R, skirting off the cobbles onto what is virtually a flat track and dodging the actual cobbles far too often. Also with the advent of modern tyres and using wider rubber plus carbon bars and frame, better saddles and gear, the riders now have it cushy as fuck by comparison.
I think the new stuff only makes the speed a little faster. I don’t think it makes the race any easier to ride and especially not easier to win. However, I think most modern riders are a little spoiled in that there hasn’t been another wet Paris Roubaix like this one or the year after when there was active rainfall.
Frustrating because they refused to cover the leader for much of the latter part of the race...they refused! Arrrrgh! Even at the end they focused on the American instead of the winner.
Not sure if you're referring to the cameras or the other riders...tactics dictate that the Domo riders (Meuseuw, Vainstiens, Knaven) are certainly not going to chase down their team mate (Peeters), and the other riders in the break don't want to drag fast finishers such as Vainstiens and Meuseuw to the line...no, it is up to strong riders on the day such as Hincapie and Dierxsens and Weseman to wait for just the right moment for a blistering attack to leave all the others behind...but this is very hard to accomplish when there are 3 Domo riders in the break (resting in the bunch because Peeters is up the road) who can take turns chasing down any breaks. Once Peeters was caught it was Knaven's turn to fill this role, with his remaining team mates still able to enjoy a free ride. This is the intricate beauty of team tactics in bike racing! Those who believe Hincapie wasn't given a "fair shake" have no one to blame except his non-existent Postal team mates!
Why do athletes celebrate before they finish a race?!? There have been many times where one athlete is so busy celebrating that an athlete comes from behind and beats them. Then this guy rides no hands with arms up in the air and almost falls. STUPID. When you are about to ride into glory ....concentrate, put your head down, and do all the stuff you learned in training. Then celebrate after you win. Just my opinionated opinion.
The arms raised victory celebration in cycling is an opportunity to show off your sponsors name(s) that are splashed across your chest as you cross the finish line in glory! Pro cycling would not exist without sponsors, so most riders will take every opportunity to get that name recognition out there and keep sponsors happy, and winning a race and clinching that photo op. is a big plus! That being said, there have been quite a few instances over the years where premature celebration resulted in the "winner" bring nipped at the line!
Fascinating. Watched every minute of this in 2022.
Great respect to the roubaix riders from now and back then. Real gladiators. This race will be hard, no matter what. Cobblestone will be cobblestone

Dude. Sad to say your comment advised me of his death. Fucking sad

I had the chance to meet him once, he was an absolute gentleman.
Great video thanks!

that's gravel racing before it was cool!
Fantastic Race....
Thank you for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
I like Stuart O'Grady's attitude "it's going to be a great adventure...it should be fun!" Glad he got his chance on the top step a few years later!

Great coverage. Thanks for sharing. Nothing prepares you for how bad these cobbles actually are. They make you hate your bike!
paul will live forever in our hearts... miss you still a lot.
Beautiful suffering.
Well put and said with a poet's flair.
Эпическое рубилово! Монстры.
maybe one of the best editions ever!
For sure! Legendary day
2021 was good
Eran otros tiemposss...🇮🇹🚀📺💣🚲🚲
"Pavé de l'arbre" is the postal adress" , but the official usual cobbled segment name is "Carrefour de l'Arbre". Fantastic edition
one of the best races FRANK ET NICO !!!

Great race !!

Would've gotten last in the Paris roubaix* Jk my brotha

Back when George "got Domo'd". Tough break, man

Peru Bay? lol
was it the year of the Merci Roubaix by Ballerini at the end of the race?
@mapo mapo Oui
3:15:24 3:17:38 Well, they do say that a mud pack is good for the complexion. Who needs a spa? Just go ride the cobbles! :-)
Wow, the Credit Agricole Looks has suspension forks.👀
What?
If Postal wasn’t a bunch of LA squids. Well Georgie live with the what ifs....
Lot's of dope in that race! EPO and steroids.
in every race since the 1930s up to today!
@@bimfred not all ,the guy in 89 place 18 minutes down wasn't on dope
@@mac9954 lolz
What is it with these two and their man crush on Hincapie?
now he is pushing the blacks in cycling,sell out

broke his femur in that crash in the Forest of Arenberg

Nothing wrong with advances in technology.... today’s race is still pretty much the same course....

The 2021 was no picnic.

great,,, interview the guy that didn`t win ? and that team `1,2,3
perfectly orchestrated gets brushed off? load of pish!

If epo and PEDs were the only factor George would've won. Just shows how versatile winning a cycling race is
If I was good at cycling as I am drinking I'd be Chris froome.

they need to zip up their jersey to show the sponsor and open their arms at the line. failure to do so reflects poorly no matter how great the win.
Maybe because he has a full lap advantage??????? He could have walked the last 100 meters (as long as he holds on to his bike).
Great video thanks!
