ROUBAIX - French cyclist Pauline Ferrand-Prevot of the Visma team came back from sickness and a fall to win the women's Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic on April 12.
The 33-year-old Olympic mountain bike champion broke clear with around 15km remaining.
This was a Paris-Roubaix debut for the cross-discipline rider, who rejoined the road circuit in 2025 after a decade's absence.
She was cheered as she entered the Roubaix velodrome alone, around a minute ahead of a chasing clutch of pretenders and raised her arms with a smile almost as wide as she crossed the line after 3hr 40min 7sec.
She then sat down exhausted and wept as a pack sprinted for the podium spots, with Italy's Letizia Borghesi second and Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes third.
