‘Alarm bells!’ – Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert caught out by huge split in peloton at Paris-Roubaix
Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) were among the riders caught out by an early split in the peloton at Paris-Roubaix. The beginning of the race is typically seen as a chance to get the blood flowing ahead of 30 cobbled sectors, but heavy gusts saw the main bunch splinter in two with over 200km remaining. Ad/> Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) was chief troublemaker, helping drive a fierce pace in the front group to ensure the gap grew quickly as those behind gawped.
