Van der Poel wins Paris Roubaix with stunning 60km solo attack

On the 260-km "Hell of the North" route which had 29 cobblestone sectors, Van der Poel's victory by three minutes was one of the largest winning margins in years as he rode to his sixth Monuments victory, crossing the line with his arms outstretched.

Van der Poel became only the 10th rider to win both cobbled Monuments - the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix - in the same season and only the second rider to do it with the rainbow jersey after Rik van Looy in 1962.
