From Wout van Aert\u2019s emotional win over world champ Tadej Poga\u010dar, to Franziska Koch outsprinting Marianne Vos, to the very quick under-23 and junior men\u2019s races, we cycling fans were treated to some great stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian Cycling Magazine\u2019s James Bunga was in France for the race, and took all kinds of snaps\u2013of the winners (and losers) and finishers, as well as all the action from the side of the road. You can truly see what a spectacle the day was, and just how damn tough it is on the cyclists.<\/p>\n<p>Women\u2019s race<\/p>\n<p>In the women\u2019s race, German champion Koch stunned a Visma-Lease a Bike duo to win Paris-Roubaix Femmes. Koch attacked repeatedly over Carrefour de l\u2019Arbre, dropped Ferrand-Pr\u00e9vot late, and held her line in a tight two-up sprint to seal victory on Sunday afternoon. It was a great win for the FDJ United-Suez rider. National champ, and former winner Alison Jackson (St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93) was the sole Canadian winner, coming in at 48th.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/sections\/feature\/franziska-koch-outsprints-legend-marianne-vos-to-win-paris-roubaix\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Franziska Koch outsprints legend Marianne Vos to win Paris-Roubaix<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Men\u2019s race<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/sections\/news\/wout-van-aerts-letter-to-teammate-who-died-at-paris-roubaix-still-resonates\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Van Aert took<\/a> the win ahead of Pogi, with Soudal Quick-Step\u2019s Jasper Stuyven rounding out the podium.
