Video: Follow Omega Pharma-Quick Step as Niki Terpstra wins Paris-Roubaix

How team saw the race on the day Dutch rider attacked to claim his place in cycling history

After a disappointing Tour of Flanders, the pressure was on Omega Pharma-Quick Step to deliver at Paris-Roubaix, and Niki Terpstra took the biggest win of his career to enable the Belgian team to end the cobbled classics season on a high.

This video takes you inside Omega Pharma-Quick Step at what as ever was a thrilling edition of the race nicknamed the Queen of the Classics.

It includes interviews with four-time winner Tom Boonen, one of the main protagonists of the day with a big attack that helped shape the course of the race, plus Terpstra himself, who launched himself off the front of a small, star-studded group with 6 kilometres left to ride his way into cycling history.
