Van der Poel conquers for the third time in a row the Paris-Roubaix
Mathieu Van der Poel made history by winning Paris-Roubaix for the third time in a row. With an incredible solo attack 60 km from the finish, he crossed the line alone in the legendary Roubaix Velodrome.
“I never could have dreamt of this as a child,” Van der Poel reflected in a post race interview. “I was super motivated for this year. I wanted to show the jersey in a nice way but yeah, this goes beyond expectations and I’m a bit lost for words actually.”
Despite a bottle thrown at him during the race, he stayed focused and showed the strength of a true champion by conquering the Hell of the North. This victory confirms his place among the greatest riders in history and highlights the strong teamwork of all the Alpecin-Deceuninck.
