Mathieu van der Poel leads Alpecin-Deceuninck's Paris-Roubaix goal, Philipsen and Groves inside lineup
CyclingFriday, 07 April 2023 at 11:29
Alpecin-Deceuninck are heading into Paris-Roubaix as one of the monument winners of this season, as Mathieu van der Poel conquered Milano-Sanremo. Here, they aim once again for a second monument win and bring in an ambitious lineup.
Van der Poel rode to victory at Sanremo but also to second at the E3 Saxo Classic and the Tour of Flanders, showing consistency and great form. It's a situation in which he isn't under a lot of pressure, but the race isn't as well suited as Flanders. The crashes and mechanicals for once can throw an obstacle for all riders, but without the climbs van der Poel won't have the same ease to make differences. The Dutchman was third and ninth the two occasions he raced.

He will be joined by recent Scheldeprijs winner Jasper Philipsen, and two-time stage winner Kaden Groves who will ride in support but are interesting outsiders for chasing groups in a sprint. 2018 runner-up Silvan Dillier will be part of the support lineup, who is completed by gravel World Champion Gianni Vermeersch, Michael Gogl and Jonas Rickaert.
Alpecin-Deceuninck for Paris-Roubaix: Mathieu van der Poel, Jasper Philipsen, Kaden Groves, Silvan Dillier, Michael Gogl, Jonas Rickaert and Gianni Vermeersch.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint).

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
