Paris-Roubaix was, as every year, a dramatic race. Attacks and heartbreaks it was a constant. At Carrefour de l'Arbre saw the decisive moment of the 2023 edition, as Wout van Aert punctured and Mathieu van der Poel went solo off the front.
The moment took place with 15 kilometers to go as van Aert attacked. The momentum was soon changed as the Belgian needed a wheel change. He was dropped, and lost around 25 seconds in the switch. With this taking place he then got back together with the chasing group, but van der Poel took the opportunity to take a hard-earned win.

- This excuse is harmless, just quaint and amusing. The excuse I really disliked was when he accused a mechanic of improperly adjusting his saddle, endangering the mechanic's job: blaming others for your own limitations is a serious matter.

- OK, today is the "air conditioner"... yesterday was a cramp... on saturday a bee will sting him in his tongue... his tongue will swell up and mustafa gets no oxygen. Because of his swollen tongue, Remco won't be able to give us a new excuse. Remco and the spanish rat Ayuso should be on the same team. They both have a ton of excuses and both of them are liars. Ad acta.Mou-Cro-HR19-02-2026

Rafionain-Glas19-02-2026 - The crucial thing to remember is that Remco was broken by the pace of Gall and Tiberi, not Del Toro's. Remco's excessive antics are because he doesn't want anyone to think that he's 'genuinely' struggling. You can always say 'he got cramps' because 'his preparation didn't go to plan', but the thing is that there is a limit to the number of excuses and exceptions that there can be. Eventually everyone just accepts that he's reached his ceiling on the climbs.Rafionain-Glas19-02-2026
