Dutch cycling world champion Mathieu Van Der Poel won his second Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, a week after his victory at the Tour of Flanders. The world champion becomes the eleventh rider in history, the first since Fabian Cancellara in 2013, to accomplish this feat.
He is also the first to triumph two years in a row on the cobbles of the Hell of the North after Tom Boonen in 2008 and 2009. It is finally a triumph for his Alpecin team which, in an unprecedented move, won the first three Monuments of the year with also the success of Jasper Philipsen.
