Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) soloed to victory in the 120th edition of Paris-Roubaix ahead of teammate, Jasper Philipsen, who outsprinted Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) for second place.
While Van der Poel was among the most aggressive riders, saying afterwards, “we raced like Juniors from start to finish, it was crazy,” Van Aert’s puncture on the Carrefour de l’Arbre, 15.5 kilometers from the finish was the decisive factor. One can’t help but wonder: what-if? And it raises the question: how much luck is needed to win a Monument like Paris-Roubaix?
