You may have seen this moment when this rider had to stop and walk their bike while that was on the Copenberg. This cobbled segment in particular is no stranger to making riders have to get off their bike and walk if they want to make it. Fast forward to this year’s edition of the Tour of Flanders. Filipe Gana is in the front group and finishes the Copenberg segment with a time of 210. Ted Paga and the favorites group are not far behind. And just how much faster did they go? Well, 32 seconds faster over a third of a mile. So, you would think Teddy Pagacha has the K for this segment.

Is it not pronounced "COP" not cope ? Idk all 4ner talk to me
Has anyone done this segment?
3.55 for an average Joe when I did it earlier this year
Beating Pogačar over 1/3 of a mile is a LOT different than doing the WHOLE RACE — obviously.
