Roubaix’18: Photo And Video Gallery Round Up!

By Alastair Hamilton On Apr 9, 2018

PeloPics: Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix was won of the best races of the season so far and had a worthy winner in World champion Peter Sagan. Cor Vos had his team roadside in Northern France for the best shots from the cobbled Classic, plus we add in some short race videos and interviews.

Picking photos from Paris-Roubaix is never easy, but with the terrible news of the death of Michael Goolaerts from a cardiac arrest after falling on the second set of cobbles, there will be no photos of the medical team working on Michael or of any crashes.

The full PEZ Roubaix Race Report HERE and more in EUROTRASH Monday.

World cyclocross champion, Wout Van Aert had a special bike for Roubaix

The ‘Retro’ French army were out on the road to see the race

They were roadside to commemorate the end of the first World War

Silvan Dillier was the man of Roubaix’18 – The Swiss champ was in the early break and finished second to Peter Sagan

Roubaix chaos!

2018 was just not Greg’s year

This year’s Roubaix was not the mud bath that was predicted

The flags were out on the course

The start was steady, but there were splits in the peloton

Third place for Niki Terpstra – The win would have been special

The top men were to the fore on Arenberg/Wallers

Mike Teunissen made a move from the peloton on the Arenberg stretch – We hear the frits are nice in Kortweg!

After Arenberg it was looking good for Philippe Gilbert – Was it too soon?

The roadside had never seen so many fans – Except here!

Peter Sagan made his own race – Did he listen to Tom Boonen’s advice?

Sagan rode across to the break and then just carried on to Roubaix

Terpstra was strong, but should he have chased earlier?

Sagan was on song, but what about Silvan Dillier – Having suffered a broken finger racing the Strade Bianche on March 3, Silvan Dillier had had to give up racing most of the cobbled classics that had initially been his main goals for the spring. He did return to competition on March 30th by winning the Route Adélie. He only ended up participating in Paris-Roubaix due to the fact that Rudy Barbier injured himself in a cash at the Tour of Flanders last weekend and was unable to take the start On Sunday.
