Paris-Roubaix always produces drama and spectacle, and yesterday’s 115th edition of the race, won by BMC Racing’s Greg van Avermaet, was no exception.

Here’s a round-up of some of the videos of a day when four-time winner Tom Boonen brought the curtain down on his career in what was his last ever race.

First up, here’s some inside-the-peloton footage from Velon – topped and tailed by van Avermaet and his BMC Racing team mate, Daniel Oss in confident mood before the race, and in a celebratory one afterwards.

Here’s the official highlights video … though someone had better tell the commentator that the Tour of Flanders was last week, not next Sunday, and that van Avermaet was second again.

Orica-Scott’s Mat Hayman couldn’t repeat his success of 2016 … but at least he found a shower cubicle with his name on it.

Here’s footage of perhaps the most spectacular crash yesterday, still with 150 kilometres to go. The spectator top-right with the yellow Flanders flag seems oblivious to the carnage unfolding behind them.

And finally … here’s a reminder of those wins down the years by Boonen, described by the commentator as he crosses the line to take his fourth victory in 2012 as “Monsieur Paris-Roubaix.”

He was certainly popular at the team bus in Compiegne before the start of the race.
