Mathieu van der Poel punctures twice on the Arenberg sector at Paris-Roubaix, teammate changes wheel

Alpecin-Premier Tech's Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel changes his bike after a flat tire at the 'Trouée d’Arenberg' cobblestone sector .

Mathieu van der Poel punctured in the Trouée d'Arenberg at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, leaving him almost two minutes behind the front of the race leaving the first five-star sector of the race.

The Alpecin-Premier Tech rider briefly tried to use Jasper Philipsen's bike, before abandoning that plan, as it seemed too small, he then walked back to his original frame, which lay at the side of the road. Another Alpecin rider, Tibor del Grosso, then changed his wheel with an Allen key, before the Dutchman punctured again before the end of the sector.
