The most deserved victory? - Domestique Cycling Podcast
Wout van Aert finally has his Paris-Roubaix. In one of the most emotional finishes in recent Monument history, the Belgian beat world champion Tadej Pogačar in a two-up sprint on the Roubaix velodrome, ending the most dominant run of Monument results the sport has ever seen.
Bram and Ethan break down every moment: the drama in the Arenberg Forest, Mathieu van der Poel's race unraveling in an instant with a double puncture and experimental pedals he couldn't clip into, three punctures and two bike changes for Pogačar, the UAE team car chaos on the cobbles, and what the tactics, or lack of them, from Visma and Alpecin really meant.
In the women's race, Franziska Koch wins for FDJ-Suez in a sprint loaded with emotion, as Marianne Vos lines up just days after losing her father. We also look ahead to the Brabantse Pijl - and yes, we do the math on whether Remco can beat Pogačar in a sprint.
