The women's race was yesterday - and was worth watching.

The men's race is underway now and is covered in its entirety on GCN etc.

I've only been able to read the reports but van der Poel is on fire this year!  Feel a bit sorry for Wout (he punctured) but in truth VDP beat him pretty easily in the world cyclocross.  The season is shaping up - pretty well all the fancied northern boys are on form - and Pogacar.

Reckon vDP was the stronger rider, but he really rode his luck!
Took out 2 German riders on the pavé, and Jumbo had a bunch of issues.

But that is Roubaix - an amazing race, loved it all!

And the femmes race was just as much fun, with a worthy winner  :thumbsup:
