There were big hopes for Laurenz Rex heading into Paris-Roubaix this year but the Intermarché - Wanty leader is not having the best of days.
Already with his shirt ripped and bloody after being caught up in an earlier crash, the Belgian has again hit the deck, this time courtesy of a spectacular somersault over a piece of road furniture. Looking around, Rex paid heavily for his momentary lapse of concentration and looked in pain as he sat on the tarmac, next to his bike.

- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe need to take Lipowitz to the tour as a co-leader. Taking into account Lipowitz's performances and Roglič's tendency to crash out, it's not an option to sacrifice Lipowitz should Roglič be in trouble. Lipowitz beat Evenepoel by a significant margin in the Critérium du Dauphiné - I think he can fight for the podium. João Almeida would have to sacrifice himself for Pogačar, while I don't think Skjelmose will be putting much of a showing.
Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025 - That's because Del Toro purposefully gave the Giro away. Carapaz actually wanted to win. Sadly, some people have a problem with successLlywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- If you take the GC of the Giro d'italia 2025 only including Stages 16-21, you'll find that: Simon Yates was the fastest, Richard Carapaz was 2:56 slower, Giulio Pellizzari was 3:17 down, Isaac Del Toro was 5:16 behind, Derek Gee was at 5:49, Damiano Caruso was at 6:17, Einer Rubio was at 7:59, Brandon McNulty was at 8:32, while Michael Storer was at 8:42 and Egan Bernal rounded off the top ten, being 9:24 down and the last rider within 10 minutes. After that the gaps start to baloon, with Rafał Majka at 11:08, Max Poole at 13:34, Adam Yates at 18:16, Davide Piganzoli at 24:42, Nicholas Prodhomme at 28:31, then an almighty jump to Thomas Pidcock who was 42:23 down, then Antonio Tiberi at 46:02, James Knox at 46:25, with Romain Bardet at 49:15 and Diego Ulissi rounding off the top 20, at 57:39 down, being the last rider within 1hr.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025
- Florian Lipowitz should seriously be a co-leader for Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe. I really don't want to see him have sacrifice his GC chances like Giulio Pellizzari had to do in Il Giro.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025

- Attacks have happened before, though the crouds are usually tame. There have been incidents of sprinters being pushed by spectators on the other side of the barriers. But it's on the climbs where riders are most vulnerable - they travel slowly (unless they're Pogi) and quite often isolated.Llywelynglyndwr17-06-2025

That got to hurt🤕
Very lucky it was well padded.
The kind of incident when you easily see how you have no time to react once you see the danger, the guys in front blocked his view of it and only just managed to swerve in time, he was left with nowhere to go, you don’t change the trajectory at speed on 2 wheels as easily as on 4.
Yeah😅. It is.
