The Dutchman won his first monument on Sunday, alone.
A master stroke. Not necessarily expected, Dylan van Baarle won the 119th edition of Paris-Roubaix, Sunday April 17. The Dutchman has triumphed alone at the Roubaix velodrome, 1’47” ahead of his runner-up Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) completed the podium. A regular in the Flanders classics, van Baarle achieved the greatest success of his career there, at 29 years.
Usually confined to a team-mate status within the British team Ineos, van Baarle resisted the returns of van Aert and Mathieu Van Der Poel. His puncture, 107 kilometers from the finish, did not disturb him, in the quest for his sixth professional victory. With an average of 45.792 km/h, he finished in the lead the fastest edition in the history of “The Hell of the North”. An edition dynamited even before the first cobblestone sectors.
