The unseen footage of @WoutvanAert's bike change on the Wallers cobbles. Wheel folded double. Speedy work from @TimoRoosen, I have to say 🔥 #ParisRoubaix @sportwereld_be
This Paris-Roubaix edition was very eventful for Jumbo-Visma, as Wout van Aert managed to get selected to the race in the final days leading up to it, and went on to finish second in the velodrome after several mechanical issues during the race. One of which, at the Trouée d'Arenberg, perhaps the most iconic sector in the race, has now reached the eyes of the public due to fan footage.
Often the speeds are incredibly high entering the sector, as it is one of the hardest of the race and frequently sees big peloton heading into the road narrowing, and that took a toll on Wout van Aert's bike who - exactly like Christophe Laporte earlier in the race - had a back tyre puncture, followed by a broken wheel. Teammate Timo Roosen was very quick to react, having given his bike to the Belgian champion before waiting for a replacement, as is seen in the video.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
