Jackson was the most significant rider in that front group in terms of keeping them away from the chasers, her attack around 22km to go was the first of her many efforts that allowed them to contest the victory. It's rare that the most deserving rider actually wins it, so pumped for her!

Totally! She, together with Lach and Borras. If anything, Ragusa was sitting on everyone's wheel saving her legs for the finish, most likely. If it wasn't for the first three, they would have been swept by Kopecky & co. So glad a hard working cyclist outsprinted someone who was saving energy instead of working to keep the podium.

The cobblestones are the worst - on asphalt you at least slide (painfully) a little and that helps dissipate some of the energy; with the cobbles you tend to "dig in" and come essentially to a dead stop. All the energy & momentum is dissipated instantly. As brutal as this crash was, I still think that the crashes (and the race in general) in 2021 were a lot worse - in many of the crashes you can see heads bouncing off the cobbles ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6N90dGEpdrIm5s.html ), and this was also the race where Van Vleutan broke her pelvis. Although if we're being honest, Van Vleutan pretty much breaks something every year....

What a big day for Jackson. And I cannot forget about Marta Lach, great race, plenty of power put into getting in to velodrome!❤

I don't know how it came out on the Eurosport/GCN feed (but I have a fairly good idea) but watching the French feed, you could hear Marion Rousse chuckle when you heard the scream "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO? YOU FUCKING DID IT!" Just hearing that unfiltered was the greatest thing ever - pure unadulterated emotion - and top marks for the dancing too. I know I wouldn't have had the legs for it after that. Have to feel sorry for Femke Markus - to be that close and have a crash in the velodrome - I can understand slapping the bike in frustration there at the end.

It's interesting how the cobbles beat everyone up so much that at the end everyone's in survival mode and it's hard for anyone to go faster than the rest. This breakaway would never have survived if the race were on asphalt.

Firstly, congratulations to all of the cyclists in today's Paris-Roubaix Femmes! That is a tough ride, and there were no bailouts for anyone in today's race. Secondly, the SVB sponsored team had bank regulators in chase vehicles coming after their kit, so they had extra motivation to keep going.

Silicon Valley bank, is this a joke? Don’t read out their sponsor name in the future Marty.

I have a tech question for #GCNTECH This race doesn't have any major climbs so the weight of the bike is not that important, so why not use tires that are unconventional with no air and just impossible to puncture? They are heavier but when there are no climbs that is not important.

@alanrutherford93

It was mentioned several times during the live feed that it was predominantly headwinds today, which makes solo breakaways less likely and big groups more common.

Seven riders contesting the sprint for the victory hardly counts as a huge group. Unlike in the men’s race, the women were riding into a headwind all day. Anyone who knows anything about cycling knows that makes it harder for riders to get away and easier for people riding in a large group. You possibly weren’t watching the race, but the seven leading riders were the remnants of the breakaway, which looked like it would inevitably be caught with 6 or 7km to go, but somehow managed to maintain their advantage.
