2022 Paris-Roubaix – Highlights, Report, & Results
Highlights
Report
Dylan van Baarle put in the performance of his career to win Paris-Roubaix for the INEOS Grenadiers.
The Dutchman made his winning move with 19 kilometres to go, driving clear of his fellow attackers and opening out a gap. That meant he was able to savour the atmosphere inside the famous Roubaix Velodrome – finishing solo by a commanding margin of one minute and 47 seconds.
The team rode a superb and committed race, taking on the Queen of the Classics from early on and even helping to split the race in the early crosswinds. A show of team strength helped ensure the Grenadiers constantly had numbers towards the front of the race, even as Roubaix inevitably threw a number of challenges at the team. That early pressure also helped contribute to victory in what proved to be the fasted ever edition of Roubaix.
Ben Turner continued to impress and ultimately finished 11th on his Roubaix debut. The young Brit was part of an elite lead group with Van Baarle in the closing stages, and despite crashing on sector six, he was able to finish 11th.
Long before the cobbles the team were on the front, ensuring a number of pre-race favourites and their teams were put under pressure. Cam Wurf, Luke Rowe and Magnus Sheffield got through a lot of work and the team. Michal Kwiatkowski and Filippo Ganna were able to join a lead group after the famed Arenberg sector, giving their all for the cause.
