Peter Sagan at the front of the decisive break: "It was a very tough Paris Roubaix, with the headwind making it even more challenging. The team did once again a great job, we had some crashes but they all put in a tremendous effort. We followed all the moves until the Carrefour de l'Arbre but in the last 15km I didn't have the legs to respond to the attacks and try to take a podium spot." – Peter Sagan 5th + 42s | share this photo |

Once again DECEUNINCK - QUICK-STEP had strength in numbers with Yves LAMPAERT also in the break. From the team press release: On the brutal Carrefour de l’Arbre, Philippe and Yves took turns to attack, wearing down the remaining riders, but it was on Gruson – the sector made famous by a crash of Bernard Hinault at the beginning of the ‘80s – that the group split, leaving only Philippe and Politt in the lead. | share this photo |

I am the kind of rider who likes new challenges, this motivates me, and here I found plenty of these: from winning Ronde or Roubaix to winning Isbergues, which was a race that was missing from my palmares” | share this photo |
