Sagan knew he would win this the second he entered the arena. Unbelievable!

[@joshuawhittaker1197]

Peter the great, arm out immediately after winning. True world champion style.

[@zboi2105]

Like a boss😎 Peter Sagan

[@Hldocin]

Jedno z najkrajších víťazstiev Petra Sagana.

The ultimate monument

RIP Michael

[@pinarellolimoncello]

Fantastic victory, I do hope Sagan picked up on my little tip for him a while back, he's got to use his brain to get more victories like this and not let bravado get the better of him like last year. If he can escape in small break aways i.e. not solo's or mass sprints and keep a cool head then many more victories will surely come his way, hope so. He's a class act and good for the sport. Another Rik Van Looy in the making.

[@bugraergun7359]

I agree. Sagan has opened the gates of his 'era' i think. If he make tactical moves he could win GC in the grand tours, he could be the absolute legend like Kelly, Moser, Van Looy.

[@andreasdalhaug9754]

Modern cycling doesn't allow for a rider like Sagan to win both Paris-Roubaix and GC in grand tours. Riders are forced to specialise nowadays because the competition is so much more fierce and everyone is at the top of their game. The only ones that could come close to pulling off something like that are Dumoulin or Wiggins in recent years, one of which is retired. Regardless it remains a neigh impossible feat, which is a good thing.

[@pinarellolimoncello]

Tend to agree, maybe Bugra means in top 3. Love Sagan , class act but he's a rouleur in the truest sense but definitely can't get over the mountains quick enough to be up there winning grand tours. Would have far better career focusing on the one day classics and stage wins. Lets hope they keep a cobbled stage in the TDF from now on as that was always a major part of the tour in the hardman days of Bernard Hinault and Jan Raas. Another thing we should campaign for is an 'everyman for himself' tour every 4 years as Henri Desgrange originally envisaged, it would make racing a lot more exciting and unpredictable at times and prevent career jeopardy such as Richie Porte in same team as Froome.

[@pinarellolimoncello]

@@outtamaway I know that, but that was not what I was saying was it, talking about the tour de France, and I know that the world championships is a nod to the days of national teams. I'm not saying national teams , I'm championing notions of everyman for himself race where every 4 years would be contenders are not Jeopardised by team hierarchy and tactics. I feel like your cut and paste of my comment was a veiled attempt to belittle me, hasn't worked out has it.

사간이 마지막으로 원데이를 우승한 해. 이거 볼 때마다 슬프다.

[@whatwelearned]

No idea why Dillier took a pull literally 50m from the velodrome. He'd probably have lost anyway but that killed it

[@noelrenzalbarillo9545]

1:06 😱😱(sagan's legs)

[@jamespantorilla1430]

malopit

[@thedistance1155]

Cramps?

[@anjoflor1686]

Wow.

[@heroooftheday]

I still can not understand why Dillier waited for Sagan to attack at last meters. Soon or later he would attack and you are desperate to counter attack in such a few meters. Why he just did not sprint in the stadium instead he waited for his follower to attack?

[@cvoque]

The faster you go, the bigger the relative advantage for the guy drafting behind you.

[@waldemarrrrr]

@@cvoque yeah but not right in front of the finish line.

[@cvoque]

@@waldemarrrrr I think he also tries to recover a bit before the final sprint.

[@mlgl9728]

You are entering the velodrome against one of the best cyclists of this era and possessing one of the best sprint finishes of the peloton.As soon as you initiate an attack like that you are done. Sagan sits on your slipstream, you've probably spent all your energies after that initial attack and chances to surpass him in the last lap are 0. After a gruelling and demanding race, legs are not as fresh as they should be. That's why he decided to wait til the final sprint, if you were not able to drop him before entering the velodrome or at least several km's before, you gotta wait til the last lap. When Matthew H. won Roubeaix a few years ago he wasn't the strongest rider coming up the velodrome showdown and did the right thing. Took command and forced his rivals to overtake him, none of them couldn't. Sagan was in top shape coming up this Paris Roubeaix edition.

[@outtamaway]

Might be a lack of track-racing knowledge or simple fatigue.

[@vladimirkozacek6714]

Si jednoducho číslo som tvoj fanúšik

[@mirek64mirek]

nech hovoria o ňom čokoľvek , dnes ukázal že vie sám zabrať a súper v úlohe štatistu ale vedeli čo robia ..krásna spolupráca , no povedzte lekcia od majstra sveta to je na nezaplatenie...

[@frantisekmatula2797]

komentár neznalosti, že vie sám zabrať, někdo to ví již 8 let, najednou je tady odborník

[@duroduso2130]

Celú kariéru mu nikto nepomáha stále všetko robí sám ;)

Best of wins adrenaline❤

[@robertmesko6112]

este teraz mam zimomriavky ked to pozeram

[@pavelrakovsky4437]

OH MY GOD!

[@bonelessx]

what a crowd! when 3Pete attacked... RESTEPPA if U know what mean. AG

[@Martin5599]

I think mistake of Swiss rider was allowing Sagan to go from the inside.. Otherwise, by riding low, Sagan would need to overtake him from outside and thus Swiss rider would have bigger chance..

[@bonggarnica754]

GOAT

[@radovanrimak581]

Slovakian power

[@CyclingMomentsHighlights]

Sad for Switzerland. They were so close to another Swiss victory in Paris-Roubaix. For me, Dillier was the man of the day. Sagan escaped too easy. His chase and execution were brilliant though, but no one expected that Dillier would come this far. What a brave man!

[@GeneralArmorus]

well, he can thank Peter for that. it's unlikely he would have made it if Sagan didn't join him

[@flyingberserker3965]

he could have did better i agree that he did good helping sagan but after the last cobbles sector he could just stay more time in sagan wheel recover a little, and never but never launch a sprint in front, if your adversary is better he should be more smart, 2 place is great he did and outstanding stage, but damm i was furious when he put himself in front of sagan for the sprint , that was giving instant victory to sagan, but he deserved the victory

[@Liofa73]

Cycling Moments & Highlights --- He was never going to beat Sagan, he knew it. Sagan's sprinting legs are twice as big as Dillier.

[@vision191]

I agree!

[@papatango5085]

Swiss men are good on mountains but rarely in sprint

[@danielnemeth9062]

do you know somebody the real paris roubaix song 2018 that was on eurosport dj?same like a marriage song!!!thx

[@njm3211]

Really crappy camera angles and placement. Impossible to tell how much of a gap Sagan had at the finish line. Was it more than a bike length?

[@ukaszmiedziak4649]

Id say Gaviria is a guy to look out for. He has something in him.

[@philipp4776]

Everyone knows that

[@loidrock01]

Hahah you will never win against Sagan in 1v1 sprint. Only at his prime.

[@nikozaprazny6282]

I'am from Slovakia

[@Player-gq5lk]

Niko Zaprazny ja tiež

[@martinmarusinec6204]

So what? Riding a city bus with him sometime ago does not make you special ;-)

[@GeneralArmorus]

All the footage of nothing happening, but no one wanted to see how the battle for 3rd place turned out...

[@h4ru434]

GeneralArmorus Niki Terpstra finished third alone the battle was for the fourth place

[@GeneralArmorus]

Sure but there was no footage of breaking away from the 4-man group.

[@brunospasta]

Because this is cycling and in cycling its about being first not third.

[@GeneralArmorus]

They do have a podium for one,two,three

[@maurobarollo7572]

GeneralArmorus grande nibali e ancora un piccolo campioncino

[@차니티비]

넘 눈치봤다... 적당히 보다가 쳐야지..

[@gmaming7959]

Can't stand Sagan. On drugs and he also never does any work on the front. If he's alone with someone else he will sit on their wheel and never be in front and then edges ahead at the end

[@adsupra3221]

well, especially in this race he did a lot work in the front or alone... the same in Flanders, he went last km solo, so what you are talking about?

[@MarshallGA12]

this is not Sagan tactic, but Greg Van Avermaet was doing that when he was fighting against Sagan in classics, and he even said it is smart... Sagan always did too much work at the front and it cost him many wins...

[@pavolsadlon7183]

@FFT Gamer the only one on drugs is you here mate. If he was on any sort of drugs would he be passing the dopping tests ? Wake up bro!!!!

[@whatwelearned]

@@pavolsadlon7183 That is a terrible argument, regardless of whether Sagan is doping.

[@pavolsadlon7183]

@@whatwelearned Why would that be a bad argument mate ? If he was on any kind of illegal doping or drugs he’d be caught red-handed long time ago, don’t you think so? Especially as one of the top cyclists out there I’d believe he is under a constant surveillance of the anti- doping commission. Not saying that because I’m Slovakian too but because it sounds to me very logic I guess
