From the "Holy shit, bike racing has gotten fast" department, here's something from the latest Escape Collective newsletter: "Peter Sagan's finishing time in his 2018 Paris-Roubaix win would have been 12 minutes outside the time limit of this year's race."
A performance that won the race 8 years ago would today not even count as having completed it. That's crazy. #procycling #couchpeloton
#CouchPeloton They claim the blue Shimano bike is a Canyon Endurance CF SL 7 from 2021 (because this vintage of bike has a round seat post suitable for a dropper seat post).
Een blauwe reddende engel in de Hel. Tadej Pogacar moest zondag tijdens Parijs-Roubaix noodgedwongen even voort op een noodfiets, aangereikt door de neutrale wagen van Shimano. Dat deed bij ons de vraag oprijzen: welk materiaal kreeg de wereldkampioen eigenlijk onder de kont?
