Ferrand-Prevot wins sensational Paris-Roubaix women's debut
French cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prevot of the Visma team won the women's Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic on Saturday.
The 33-year-old Olympic mountain bike champion broke clear with around 15km remaining.
This was a Paris-Roubaix debut for the cross-discipline rider who rejoined the road circuit in 2025 after a decade's absence.
She was cheered as she entered the Roubaix velodrome alone around a minute ahead of a chasing clutch of pretenders and raised her arms with a smile almost as wide as she crossed the line.
She then sat down exhausted on the floor and wept.
Her boyfriend Dylan van Baarle, also of Visma, won the men's Paris-Roubaix three years ago
