@Kenny_Pryde @casquetteurs @TheodeRooij Yea, Van Impe riding for Metauro & Zoetemelk for Coop

@casquetteurs What do you reckon @TheodeRooij is this 1983?

How they saw it 50 years ago in the event he waited until 1978 🦡 🦡 🦡

I really think we should be much more body conscious about pro professional cycling. Yes, he has a sexy ass but please call him by his proper name, Paul Success.

@stephenfarrand Just as long as they ditch the white shorts

This is the official Netcompany corporate branding. Ineos will likely change their bright orange colors for dark green and white for the Giro d’Italia. cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/in…

@LEGRO Jeepers the names on that list

One of the most iconic track race on the track calendar. Champagne 10 mile scratch race. 1976 I thought I won, hands in the air as a victory salute as I crossed the line only to be short lived as Glen Mitchell was half a lap in front taking the win 😂

I would add 2021 to the list

Velen beschouwen @parisroubaix van vorige zondag als één van de meest memorabele ooit. Terecht. Het mag mee in de galerij van deze legendarische edities. -Van Steenbergen-Coppi 1952 -De Vlaeminck-Merckx 1975 -Hinault 1981 -Tchmil 1994

@AndyFearn2 By a long way

@willfoth Best day of the (cycling) year so far 😊……

One of the best PRs with more punctures than normal maybe due to the high speeds (?) & such a relief to see WVA land a big one after so long

Can't remember the last time I shed a tear at the end of a bike race. I could not be more pleased for Wout van Aert. It would have been criminal if he'd ended his career without a win in a cobbled monument. To finally achieve it today, at the end of one of the most epic, dramatic and chaotic editions of Paris Roubaix seems fitting. And to do so in front of one of the top 2 riders of all time just adds to the prestige. Well done Wout. And Belgium: enjoy your party. Surely a national holiday has to be called tomorrow?! #parisroubaix

I morgen køres Paris-Roubaix. For første gang uden Jørgen Leth iblandt os. Vi har spurgt Brian Holm og Bastian Emil, om de ville forestille sig det perfekte Paris-Roubaix for Jørgen. Se løbet søndag kl. 10.30 på HBO Max og Eurosport 1. #cykling #parisroubaix #eurosport

💨 Tailwind until 1st cobbled sector (after 95.8 km | 162.5 km from 🏁). Fast start, takes longer for breakaway to take shape. In 2024, riders were flying at avg. speed of 52 Kph from km 0 to start of 1st cobbled sector. In 2025, at 50.5 Kph. ___________________ 🪨 #ParisRoubaix

Rain rain go away go fall on Paree Roobay

@CHAIRRDRF He’s the real deal for sure.

I wonder what expert on "the new Hinault" @willfoth thinks about Paul Seixas now? To me, Seixas is polite and even humble in interviews. There was a moment of annoyance when he dropped a bidon yesterday, but can you see him punching a demonstrator who interrupts the peloton? 1./

@Kenny_Pryde @Plastic_Peloton But with more sensible hair

@Kenny_Pryde @Plastic_Peloton The next Titou Moreau I’d say

This Paul Seixas could be - just COULD BE - the next Jean-Philippe Dojwa 🙌

@jeremycwhittle 🦡

If he hasn’t already done so, Seixas proved definitively today, climbing and descending, that he’s the coming man. Even the usual Pays Basque safety farce didn’t deter him. His team will be obliged to start him in this year’s Tour.
