Some might be calling it boring, predictable, inevitable even, but there's no denying that Mathieu van der Poel's performance at the 2024 Paris-Roubaix was impressive. To ride Mads Pedersen off his wheel on the Forest of Arenberg is a feat that not many - if any - others can claim.
And dominant though his performance was, you don't win Roubaix without a team of excellent mechanics, a well-dialled bike, and a big stroke of luck.
