Holy Week is upon us, with the anticipation of Paris-Roubaix now bigger than ever after a barnstorming edition of the men's Tour of Flanders on Sunday, with all the main protagonists coming to the fore and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) eventually scorching his way to a famous solo victory and second title at De Ronde.
In the women's race, we saw history as Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) kept her cool and survived all of the cobbled climbs she grew up riding on before outsprinting a top-tier trio of Liane Lippert (Movistar), Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto) and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) to become the first woman ever to win De Ronde three times.
