CyclingTuesday, 11 April 2023 at 05:00
Arnaud De Lie's debut at the Paris-Roubaix race was a mixed experience, as he finished in 50th place despite facing several obstacles that impacted his performance.
“I felt strong, and I really enjoyed it today. Unfortunately, I punctured in the Arenberg forest but I kept fighting,” he said on his team’s website. He did not give up and once again was back on his bike. “Eventually, I could still return in the bunch that would sprint for 15th.”
It appeared that luck was not on his side as he encountered the same difficulty once more. “But sadly, I punctured again on the final sector. It’s a pity but this was a nice first taste of Hell.” He will next be seen in De Brabantse Pijl.

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
