Jackson was the most significant rider in that front group in terms of keeping them away from the chasers, her attack around 22km to go was the first of her many efforts that allowed them to contest the victory. It's rare that the most deserving rider actually wins it, so pumped for her!
Totally! She, together with Lach and Borras. If anything, Ragusa was sitting on everyone's wheel saving her legs for the finish, most likely. If it wasn't for the first three, they would have been swept by Kopecky & co. So glad a hard working cyclist outsprinted someone who was saving energy instead of working to keep the podium.
Seeing how hard she worked, I was rooting for Jackson but doubtful she'd get the W with the likes of Ragusa sitting in for so long. The win couldn't have gone to a more worthy competitor. What a strong finish! What an amazing race.
The race isn't over until it's over: both Vos and Kopecky were down and both came back to the main group to finished in the top10. What a tense race this was.
I don't know how it came out on the Eurosport/GCN feed (but I have a fairly good idea) but watching the French feed, you could hear Marion Rousse chuckle when you heard the scream "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO? YOU FUCKING DID IT!" Just hearing that unfiltered was the greatest thing ever - pure unadulterated emotion - and top marks for the dancing too. I know I wouldn't have had the legs for it after that. Have to feel sorry for Femke Markus - to be that close and have a crash in the velodrome - I can understand slapping the bike in frustration there at the end.
The cobblestones are the worst - on asphalt you at least slide (painfully) a little and that helps dissipate some of the energy; with the cobbles you tend to "dig in" and come essentially to a dead stop. All the energy & momentum is dissipated instantly. As brutal as this crash was, I still think that the crashes (and the race in general) in 2021 were a lot worse - in many of the crashes you can see heads bouncing off the cobbles ( ruclips.net/video/ioIooKuwbk8/видео.html ), and this was also the race where Van Vleutan broke her pelvis. Although if we're being honest, Van Vleutan pretty much breaks something every year....
Roubaix is interesting. It can be very dull with a long range solo winner or be like today and the men's in 2021 where it's just straight up the best race you ever watched
It's interesting how the cobbles beat everyone up so much that at the end everyone's in survival mode and it's hard for anyone to go faster than the rest. This breakaway would never have survived if the race were on asphalt.
I think she just sacked her chances for a top 10 place. Which is understandable. Most of these riders would have signed for a top 10 place instantly if you asked them before the race. Do you really throw that away for a chance at a medal?
no these ideas are too calculating and not based in reality. Her team is not that unknown. think there was some agreement made and prhaps she drew the short straw or she knew she had a not so wonderful sprint, one of the others was a good friend and she worked for her
She said that she was aiming for top 10, not around top 40 - that's why worked hard to keep breakaway going. In fact - that's best result for Polish rider (men and women) in history, so she's very happy being 6th.
Perhaps so. But it was in the interest of the whole group to stay away. Just have trouble thinking that she decided on her own to sacrifice herself for the rest of the group instead of hoping for a podium place which what usually happens.
Who was sponsored by SVB? I can't imagine SVB would have sponsored European womens cycling, it was an american bank that was targetted at american startups. Not many americans watch European womens cycling.
@matthewbaynham6286 The winning team is, EF-Education-Tibco-SVB, it's on their kit in several places pretty clearly, and the video narrator says it a couple times. They're an American squad.
Firstly, congratulations to all of the cyclists in today's Paris-Roubaix Femmes! That is a tough ride, and there were no bailouts for anyone in today's race. Secondly, the SVB sponsored team had bank regulators in chase vehicles coming after their kit, so they had extra motivation to keep going.
I think it was largely how it was raced with a break up the road. They had to consistently chase, couldn't afford to try a solo, needed all the riders possible working More km's this year than the two previous editions where a solo rider won.
@@bobroberts5820 the previous two editions where solo win, agree. But 2021 was so muddy and slipery and 2022 was a solo win folowed by 7 riders. I enjoyed the 3 editions, specially this last one, but it would be more epic with some more kms. No doubt these women can do it and would give us a huge and epic race.
Watching the race live all the women were freewheeling as much as they could before the corners towards the end, especially with how they couldn't catch the break dangling just 8secs up the road at one point, I think they were pretty knackered. I could be wrong ofc though.
It was mentioned several times during the live feed that it was predominantly headwinds today, which makes solo breakaways less likely and big groups more common.
I have a tech question for #GCNTECH This race doesn't have any major climbs so the weight of the bike is not that important, so why not use tires that are unconventional with no air and just impossible to puncture? They are heavier but when there are no climbs that is not important.
My thoughts: acceleration is affected by tire weight, and winning this race comes down to the sprint finish in the velodrome. No one would want to give up the advantage at the finish.
@@alanrutherford93 Marianne Vos had a puncture and wasn't at that sprint finish, she might have had a better result without the puncture and heavier tires.
@@matthewbaynham6286 fair point. Every choice has costs and benefits. There aren’t that many flats in Paris Roubaix. There’s no way to win a sprint with heavier tires. I still think teams prioritizing winning over puncture resistance.
Dedicating 6 minutes to an important race doesn't feel like much of a support for women's racing! It's going to look awkward if you give mens coverage more than 6 minutes.
All of our short highlights are around this length, although this can vary depending on rights. However, we had live coverage of the race and extended highlights available over on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/racetv
Clearly you've never ridden on a wet painted line before if you can't comprehend how this crash happened. Fabian Cancellara also crashed on this velodrome, while riding by himself, you sexist tool.
woman's cycling is so weak ! The evidence is in the huge group entering the velodrome. With that many riders contesting the finish..... the course was way too easy. And to top it off, the winner had enough energy to make a victory dance. Booooo!!! I have even less interest in woman's cycling than before.
Seven riders contesting the sprint for the victory hardly counts as a huge group. Unlike in the men’s race, the women were riding into a headwind all day. Anyone who knows anything about cycling knows that makes it harder for riders to get away and easier for people riding in a large group. You possibly weren’t watching the race, but the seven leading riders were the remnants of the breakaway, which looked like it would inevitably be caught with 6 or 7km to go, but somehow managed to maintain their advantage.
Jackson was the most significant rider in that front group in terms of keeping them away from the chasers, her attack around 22km to go was the first of her many efforts that allowed them to contest the victory. It's rare that the most deserving rider actually wins it, so pumped for her!
You could see her trying to get others to take turns at the front, and it worked. It was great to see her win.
Totally! She, together with Lach and Borras. If anything, Ragusa was sitting on everyone's wheel saving her legs for the finish, most likely. If it wasn't for the first three, they would have been swept by Kopecky & co. So glad a hard working cyclist outsprinted someone who was saving energy instead of working to keep the podium.
And a Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes, Jackson and Lach kept the breakaway alive
I had tears of joy when she crossed the line, and even on repeat viewings, I still do. What a race. So proud of Alison.
Same for me. One of the best races I have seen with a well deserved winner.
Not everyday you get to say you went to school with a Paris Roubaix winner. Super proud!!! Usually working for others, today, the glory is hers
the best comment 🎉
Seeing how hard she worked, I was rooting for Jackson but doubtful she'd get the W with the likes of Ragusa sitting in for so long. The win couldn't have gone to a more worthy competitor. What a strong finish! What an amazing race.
Alberta Canada proud! Great race!
Love the victory dance - Paris Roubaix always gives the best finish reactions.
Classic Ali 😂🎉🥳🥳
Tacky and embarrassing. Keep that self-indulgent shit out of cycling.
Her and Colbrelli were great
👸Such an amazing edition!!!!
That breakaway’s perserverence was incredible.👏THIS is why the women deserve equal coverage.
And to get to race the full course
The most unpredictable race. Alison Jackson deserve it. 🎉🎉🎉
The race isn't over until it's over: both Vos and Kopecky were down and both came back to the main group to finished in the top10. What a tense race this was.
Wow!! One of the biggest results in Canadian cycling history!! Bauer. Stieda. Hesjedal. And now Jackson. 🇨🇦🍁❤
Houle!!
@@mathieuchouinard3334 For sure!! And Barry, tuft, and woods too!
Canada proud!! Kudos to Alison for her amazing victory.
Alison!!!!!! You absolute beast! Good for you woman!
What a sprint! Thanks Alison, huge congrats. Oh Canada! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
That might just be one of the most chaotic races I’ve ever seen. You needed nerves of steel to win a race that competitive - well done Jackson!!! ❤🇨🇦
It was a such a good race, we're still digesting it 5 days later!
What a big day for Jackson.
And I cannot forget about Marta Lach, great race, plenty of power put into getting in to velodrome!❤
Awesome win for Jackson and Canada (particularly after Bauer was denied by like 1mm)... well done.
Congratulations from Alberta Alison!

Have to feel sorry for Femke Markus - to be that close and have a crash in the velodrome - I can understand slapping the bike in frustration there at the end.
Markus had great position too. Probably not too experienced on a velodrome, that was a weird crash.
That crash at 2:45min is brutal.
Unbelievable how quick they get up again. Puzzles me every single time!
The cobblestones are the worst - on asphalt you at least slide (painfully) a little and that helps dissipate some of the energy; with the cobbles you tend to "dig in" and come essentially to a dead stop. All the energy & momentum is dissipated instantly.

Well done ladies, outstanding efforts from all of you!
Top win - most belief in the break, strongest legs and massive last lap effort. Doing PRBX history proud.
Congratulations, Jackson! Great sprint.
Well deserved win for Jackson. She worked hard in the breakaway.
Gutted for Femke Markus, falling when you've possibly got the best sprint.
The dancing queen got the best moves on the cobbles afterall!!
She gave it all in that sprint finish
A deserving and popular winner! That's a feel-good result.
Juste WoW!!!
Oh man, what a finish, well deserved Action Jackson!! Years in the making and what a day to put her stamp on!! Allez Alison Allez!!
I love a GROUP finishing sprint at Paris-Roubaix. Well done Alison!
Silicon Valley bank 😂
Keep promoting this fantastic female racing please ❤
Great video FLO, thanks for not giving the result away today!
Wild race and amazing finish--thanks for the recap.
Pretty dangerous trophy! Don't drop it Alison....
Oh Canada !!!!!
Loved seeing Jackson take it out!!!!
Wow! Alison Jackson.
Fantastic race! congrats, jackson!
Very nice
Go Canada Go!!!!! Give that girl a La Fin Du Monde( or a Moosehead or a Kokanee or a Labatt Blue )
Great race. Commentary was good as well.
Canada represent!!!! Go Alison!!! 🇨🇦
Good to see SVB can still keep the sponsorship going
Vos managed to land in the top 10. Just wow
Lab71 개좋음
A great advertisement for the women’s tour and women’s cycling in general. This race had everything
Helluva a sprint to win it, helluva a race overall. Nice work Alison! (Almost makes up for Steve Bauer's agonizingly close loss in 1990.)
Felt a little weird seeing the SVB on her jersey... regardless chapeau!
LETS GO EF!!!!!!!!
OH CANADA!! LEGEND RIGHT HERE !!
worth watching as many times as possible.
Wonderful win for Alison Jackson 🎉💃🎊🎊
Gooooo Canada 💪💪💪
Congrats to Alison Jackson! Awesome performance
That was an awesome race!
It was so exciting and unpredictable right to the end!
I love Silicon Valley Bank being EFs co-sponsor :)
Silicon Valley Bank got its money's worth today co-sponsoring Team TIBCO.
Haha Silicon Valley bank that’s hilarious.
I hope the men’s race finishes like that and not someone soloing away for ages 🙄
Roubaix is interesting. It can be very dull with a long range solo winner or be like today and the men's in 2021 where it's just straight up the best race you ever watched

It's all action Jackson!
Shouldnt they rebrand the team name from Tibco SBV to Tibco - US Federal Govt. ? :)
As a Canadian, this was my finest day as a cycling fan. The greatest single day performance by a Canadian in professional cycling. So happy for AJ.
Oh, Canada!
Hosers rock and get a rock 🪨
👍👍👍
If they can dance like that at the end time to make it the same distance as the men’s race!
Curious as to why Marta Lach pulled the group over the last bit. Wasn't working for a teammate. maybe for someone else?
She was in a pretty unknown team I think, might have just been looking for a top 10 result to get a better team next year?
I think she just sacked her chances for a top 10 place. Which is understandable. Most of these riders would have signed for a top 10 place instantly if you asked them before the race. Do you really throw that away for a chance at a medal?
no these ideas are too calculating and not based in reality. Her team is not that unknown. think there was some agreement made and prhaps she drew the short straw or she knew she had a not so wonderful sprint, one of the others was a good friend and she worked for her

ms Jackson is not sorry
😂 I am for real
I believe Silicon Valley Bank no longer exists. How does that affect the finances of EF Education-Tibco-SVB?
Well, one hopes the team got their SVB money before the bank went bust.
They need to make this race longer I think.
No one saw that coming.
🇨🇦👏💪
SVB is a sponsor? Hopefully they have cashed the cheques.
...and why am I thinking about Chiara Doni?
waiting for the men's !
Silicon Valley bank, is this a joke? Don’t read out their sponsor name in the future Marty.
Q: are all riders sponsored by SVB getting financial bail-outs?
Who was sponsored by SVB?
I can't imagine SVB would have sponsored European womens cycling, it was an american bank that was targetted at american startups. Not many americans watch European womens cycling.

Some of these ladies are thicker and more muscular than many of their men counterparts.
Funny how delusional spectators destroy farmer's crop right next to the road
SVB doesn't deserve the good press. Banking pirates.

Why even hold this event? Women crashing on the final velodrome too this time...not worth it.
Clearly you've never ridden on a wet painted line before if you can't comprehend how this crash happened. Fabian Cancellara also crashed on this velodrome, while riding by himself, you sexist tool.
Probably one of the most fraudulent wins I've ever seen tbh, sorry has to be said
Care to elaborate?
TBH, your comment really didn’t need to be said. Coherence doesn’t seem to be your strong point……………
In what possible way is this fraudulent?
