what is the story behind the Gr. Jegat shirt?
My dream that Wout van Aert will win Paris-Roubaix lives on
67
Can’t believe you opted out for an emergency pod for the Basque result. Even Carlton Kirby was excited for you guys lol
Pogacar was cooked when crashed last edition. That is why he crashed. Was too tired to be alert. MvdP would have won no matter what.
We all want to see a final between Mads and Wout. Two of the three most humble guys in the peleton (Jonas) Come on Mads and Wout 💪
Come on Mads !!
Van Aert will get 2nd.. trust me.
I am hyped for sunday
Against the odds, Pog wins this.
Omg Patrick's Dark Horse Pick for the Race is the cousin of the famous Richard Weinzheimer.
17:35 That smirk after the 6-7 😂
It's insane there's no Aranburu video today. Insane. Why have a running bit at all
The WVA disrespect is unacceptable. WVA long sprint in the velodrome against Pog and MVDP. He dusts them. Lock it in.
Nice 6-7 Benji 😂🤣😂
need a clip of benji saying "I hope Pogacar wins Roubaix"
Ganna is taking this
When has a sub 70kg rider won PR?
Thanks! But what comments do you have on Carlton Kirby's remark about Benji spilling his hot chocolate when Aranburu attacked during the Basque Country stage today?
Benji to the UK government on letting him go to Roubaix, "DONT YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!"
I am convinced that Benji has been replaced with AI. There are weird artifacts and he didn’t even mention Aranburu
As Benji would say "Is there a world where" Brennan features in the top 3? I think he will win a calssic one day.
Alpecin is stacked af for Roubaix.
Nice podcast but I totally disagree with the prediction. UAE will throw away a 80%+ win chance for another rider than Pog to get 50% or even less for Pog. They will order that person back to do a pull. They want to have Pog win all classics, the rest does not matter.
Everyone takes about W/kg ….. but I think fatigue resistance will have equally significant implications …. And that’s Pog’s X factor in Roubaix. I think his whole winter practice has been geared towards repeated seated accelerations in and out of the cobbled sectors
Why people ask for Bask when it says Paris-Roubaix is beyond me…
Her name is not Sjabby. A-lease Cha-bay! She is from Geneva, French-speaking Switzerland.
No 15 minute segment on the corners ahead of the Arenberg entry?
This isn’t the LRCP I grew up with anymore smh
