Paris-Roubaix 2018: order Velodrome

Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) won the 2018 edition of Paris-Roubaix as he out-sprinted Silvan Dillier (Ag2r La Mondiale) on the famous Roubaix velodrome.

Dillier was part of the early break which went clear after 40km of racing with more than 210km to go, and was able to latch on to Sagan's wheel after the world champion had attacked from the main group with 54km remaining. The pair were able to hold a chase group including defending champion Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing) at order around a minute for the final 30km despite numerous efforts by Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors) to close the gap. It was Dillier who led into the velodrome with Sagan on his wheel, racing around the top of the track before Segan swooped down and sprinted away to take a memorable victory.
