Paris Roubaix 2026 | Behind The Scenes

So good morning Mikko. Morning. What are you gonna do? I'm gonna make, I don't know how you say it, a dirty cotado. A double shot for you? Always, always double. I didn't sleep super good last night. So double mojadonk. Yeah but I don't know if I can, it's too much coffee maybe. Perfect barista. Not bad. What a classic. Hey Ruiz, they tell me that you broke a record in Flanders. Yes, I broke a record. World record. You beat this world record, no? Yes, I just woke up so my brain is processing slow but the world record was the fastest crash ever in cycling. Thank you, thank you Luca. You are part of this record. Maybe if I get some money I share with you one day. And yeah, I didn't do any voodoo about your crash. Sorry that this happened and speed recovery as well. Hello, my name is Florian. Today I will take you to the Ricon Paris-Roubaix. Hello. You're really filming me from the worst angle, from my bald spot on the back of my head. It's so Welcome to the Ricon. Today is the day of days. Ricon of Roubaix. My legs feel a bit better than yesterday. Yesterday it was like 50-50. This spring is so nice, no? Yeah, I think it's one of the best serious seasons of the year. Now we enter the first cobble section. We have some good stories about this one. Oh yeah. Which we will not share. Ah, we crashed. We crashed. Oh, I crashed. You go fast already, yeah? Now we go to Arambet Forest. Probably the hardest one of the race. I already found one goat today. This one. Let's find another goat. Let's find some other goats. And I mean the real ones. In my day. In my day? My day the Endebarab was just rotonder. Who is always in late? The young guys. The new generation. First he missed jersey. He didn't have long sleeve jersey. Then he was like three minutes too late. It's always against me. Why? Why you bully me? From my bald spot. Man, this is when you are pulling in the peloton, you lose all your hair here. And then it starts to come here and then you take everything off. From joining the exclusive club of all five Monument winners. That's going to be an achievement. Where is this club? It's the VIP section for you. That is boring. I thought it's like a proper club. As UAE Team Emirates XRG began to really up the tempo for Pogacar, absolutely shredding the peloton. Pogacar has suddenly started to go backwards. A puncture for Pogacar with his team car a long way back as Pogacar finally got a bike change over four kilometers later. The world champion not looking too impressed got back before the first five-star sector, the Tour de Arambert. Van Aert decides it's time to accelerate. Big move. Throws it into the next turn. Wow Van Aert, wow Van Aert with a massive acceleration. Van Aert starts to go away and wow Van Aert is powering his way towards the most incredible victory in Paris-Roubaix. Wonderful! We can see the slowdown of this acceleration phase. The right moment and not just a moment to make a difference to the result of the event. In any case, the first two thirds, that's a certainty and today he was able to go all the way. I'm proud of all the team. We had to change twice the bike. We couldn't do all our plans because they were very strong. But yeah, I mean, I'm still proud. I'm still very proud and happy. C'est héro qui franchisse la ligne.
