'We raced like juniors from start to finish. It was crazy' - Mathieu van der Poel on his Paris-Roubaix victory

It all kicked off around the Forest of Arenberg. It often does at Paris-Roubaix. 

There, or rather just before, with the suspense of the race’s most perilous cobbled sector intensifying, a move finally went. And it stayed away. It was Mathieu van der Poel who led into the forest. 100km later, it was Mathieu van der Poel who led alone into the velodrome.
