No 'ifs' for Mads Pedersen despite suffering puncture from lead group at Paris-Roubaix

Mads Pedersen outsprints Wout van Aert to take a second third-place in as many years at the 2025 edition of Paris-Roubaix.

Heading into this year's Paris-Roubaix, former world champion Mads Pedersen was perhaps the only rider in the peloton spoken in the same breath as top favourites Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG).

It's no surprise, then, that the Dane joined the two on the podium at the end of the 259km Monument, having once again sprinted from a chase group behind winner Van der Poel to clinch a second third-place finish in a row.
