Paris Roubaix Femmes ‘24: Gaining an Advantage

On the pave section named after the windmill off to her right, Jade Wiel (FDJ-Suez) opens up a twenty second lead with another 33 kilometers to go.  She must have felt good to ride solo past her team’s main sponsor’s banners as she neared the end of the eighth pave section, the Templeuvue Moulin de Vertain.  Behind her, the erstwhile leading quartet were getting their chase of the former French National Champion organized.

Ronde Van Vlaanderen 23, Men's Race: Belgium Racing

Over 100 kilometers into the race and this might be the first attack that may be successful.  On the first section of cobbles, the Huisepontweg, it was Jonas Rutsch (EF Education-EasyPost) who started to ride away from the rest of the peloton.  Off to his right Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step) struggled with staying upright in the mud just along the side of the rougher roadway.  Others tried to go with the pair, but at this point they were the only two to get away.  Others did managed to join later when they got back to the smooth modern roads that lay around the corner.
