Wout van Aert Wins Paris-Roubaix

In one of the most dramatic editions of the race, Van Aert overcame a mid-race puncture to reach the iconic velodrome alongside Pogačar.

The 31-year-old launched a powerful sprint in the final 200 meters to secure his second career Monument victory.

Pogačar, who was seeking to make history with a rare classic win, had to settle for second place.

The race was characterized by brutal conditions across the cobblestone sectors, leading to numerous crashes and mechanical issues for the elite field.
