Wout van Aert won Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, ending a decade-long streak without a Belgian winner in the classic race. He defeated world champion Tadej Pogacar in a thrilling sprint finish across the challenging cobbles.
The victory marks van Aert’s second Monument win, following his success at Milan-San Remo in 2020. He outduelled the four-time Tour de France champion in a brutal and closely contested race.
Van Aert dedicated his win to his late friend, Michael Goolaerts.
