How The Race Was Won – Paris-Roubaix 2016

Posted on 11 April 20164 July 2021 by cosmo

Yeesh, what a race. Early splits, strong teamwork, crashes, epic saves—but it would all come down to who was best on the cobbles…or would it? A study in cycling, persistence, luck, and general exhaustion. Thanks as always to the good people at CyclingTips, with an assist from Scott.

    As always, perfect coverage! I didn’t get to watch any of the race on day-of, but thanks to you I got the best possible alternative.

    Thanks!

    This was the most action packed and exciting PR I can remember. From the coverage we got here in the states it was non-stop action with Sagan and Cancellara already chasing like mad with more than 100k to go and Etixx trying to keep them at bay. The finale was great too with attacks going one after the other but nothing sticking and the front 5 coming to the line pretty much all together.

    As usual… Awesome highlight!!!!
    Would You please give some advice to Thierry Adam on France TV?
    Otherwise, just want to congratulate you for those ads you manage to get.
    Some might find it annoying, but all that good work you are putting in deserve some reward 😉
    Keep going.
