Saturday's fifth edition of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes marked two years since Alison Jackson's underdog victory from the early breakaway, but few had marked her, or her EF Education-Oatly teammates, among the top favourites for glory this time around.
Come the race's conclusion in Roubaix's Vélodrome André-Pétrieux, a repeat of that famous triumph wasn't on the cards, but the women in pink did come away with a smaller cobblestone trophy to add to the collection – that of second place, courtesy of Letizia Borghesi.
