Didn’t hide in the bunch, workhorse all day, pushed the break-away. Alison Jackson, deserved winner. Chapeau.

[@RookYZRM1]

Almost never ends up that way, awesome when it does though🤙🏼

[@Specialissimus]

After how she handled that race I'm an Alison Jackson fan. Pulling and organizing and THEN legit contesting the sprint and winning... total package rider. Hope we see more Alison Jackson breaks in the future.

[@miche_amico]

Fantastic race! Jackson worked so hard in that break. A well-deserved win!

[@melissaflick9041]

Reminiscent of 2016

This was one the best final 20k's in ANY race I've seen in the last couple years. So awesome.

[@zikaperic2133]

I agree. Never watched female racing but this was awesome.

[@n.m4497]

Your wife's boyfriend enjoyed it too? Lmao

[@santiagobenites]

A beautiful and hard earned victory by Alison Jackson! She motivated and encouraged the break to keep fighting until the end, and it paid off. I love her great dance moves too!

[@LlenadeMalo]

It really was a great race. I do have to give credit to Lanterne Rouge for turning me on to women’s cycling. I never watched it and he started covering races so I got interested. I have to say there are A LOT of great women’s races. These ladies are phenomenal athletes.

[@brianwallace6566]

yes kudos to LR; due to the (ever decreasing, happily) dearth of women's coverage it takes even more effort than that associated with the mere acquisition of familiarity with a new sport

[@PanSkrzetuski]

Agreed on this point. I too am grateful for the insightful coverage of the big women's events.

[@johnhessian5602]

Agreed LR. Thanks.

[@MrAndrewjdavis]

Bike racing can be the most exciting and most dull sport ever. The tactics and individual stories make the race. I was absolutely transfixed by the last hour of this race and was convinced Jackson was toast after all that work she did. I did well up when she one. When they interviewed Truyen at the end and she was in bits because she was ecstatic with her 3rd place, I did genuinely started crying too.

[@bobmclennan1727]

What incredible determination it must take to realize that your breakaway has effectively been caught, and then to keep pushing and manage to stay away to the finish. Amazing.

[@tbgallant]

Go Canada!! Awesome showing by Jackson, she did SO much work in that break and deserved the win. Woo!

[@SARGEinc]

I've seen her training in my hometown in the worst rain ever. It's really cool to see it payoff with a huge win like this. Living the dream!

[@mitchellsteindler]

That is cool

[@MrAndrewjdavis]

Velominati rule 9 : "Why do I love training in bad weather? Because training in bad weather means you’re a badass. Period."

[@mstrasser]

a year later and i still get shivers and tears of joy watching this race and any highlights from it. Alison made us all so proud. Incredible final 20km. So deserved.

[@barrysmith7168]

She seems a likeable champion, I'm happy an underdog won, I'm more interested in women's cycling generally and this increased that interest.

[@Larry-Cambridge]

Tears if joy on this one. Wow what a win. One of the best in many years.

[@juliabea4705]

Oh man, I heard Alison Jackson on Abby Mickey’s Wheel Talk podcast this week and she was talking about the importance of not giving up in the break, and now THIS!!! I’m weeping real tears watching this in a public place lol

[@cyclonasaurusrex1525]

Just like with Hayman, I was bawling. Great story. Great race.

[@srolchi]

That was a fun race to watch. Love to see the underdogs win. Passionate performance and fully deserved!

[@paulsolon6229]

Jackson drove the break. Then the sprint she wins Way to go

[@randymiles1303]

The most well-deserved win in the history of the Paris Roubaix! She did most of the pacing work and coaching of the seven girl group, and the girl that got second deserved very little given the insignificant amount of support she gave to the group. Poetic Justice!

[@Pupda]

There's only been three, so there isn't really much "history of the Paris Roubaix!" to be the most well-deserved of. And I would argue that Lizzie Deignan's victory in the mess that was Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2021 was just as well-deserved, if not more.

[@feedbackzaloop]

That is some unbelievable determination! To start off in the lead, pump up the breakaway to work together and still have an edge over them on the boards. If not for the 5:45 moment, the race would have gone as "usual".

[@ultimatist]

Truly well deserved for Alison!

[@obikedog]

I know it's smart racing but I was so glad to see one of the women doing all the work in the breakaway hold of the strategic sitters-in, Ragusa especially who I never saw anywhere but at the very back every time the cameras pulled focus. She deserved second but a champion should be special and Jackson is certainly that! What a race!

[@TulaneAve]

I'm glad the rider who did the most work got the win.

[@eccehomer8182]

Great effort from Alison... thoroughly deserved. Reminded me of Anna Keisenhofer in Tokyo.

[@BreakawayB]

👸Such an amazing edition!!!! The breakaway’s perserverence was incredible, and undoubtably the women’s races deserve equal coverage.

[@montecrisco]

I was so stoked to see Jackson take it out! After working all to keep the gap to the favourites and with a bunch of passengers in the final. A very well deserved win!!!

[@sandOstorm1]

She was raised in bison farm in rural Alberta, Canada. Paris-Roubaix is like a walk in the park for her

[@charliedillon1400]

yup. Not a vegan.

[@ktakashismith]

At 5:15 come on, SD Worx, the captain of your team is 10 seconds away and would absolutely mop everyone in either of those groups in the velodrome. Drop Femke Markus back at this point and bridge that sh*t up! To paraphrase LR here: "LITERALLY WHAT THE F***!" Nevertheless, beautiful to see women in the break riding with their whole heart (and an extra set of legs on Jackson, seriously impressive ride) getting a deserved win.

[@Tibovl]

I think they thought other teams would close. Trek had no rider in front and two people in the group behind, so they should have closed it. SD Worx still had decent odds to win the sprint with Markus who had been in the draft for 50k.

[@dobster5819]

watching the whole race live was a fantastic treat, thank you GCN.

[@mmmbetter55]

That right there is what the sport is about. Beautiful and deserved win for Jackson!

[@sarahkottke676]

Such a great race! Excellent recap !

[@fepatton]

That was an amazing race. Jackson and Lach animating the breakaway at the end had me jumping out of my seat! I kept watching the whole ceremony, which I usually skip. Chapeau to all the riders in the break, and especially Jackson!

[@aleisaqui]

this was such an awesome race! props to the entire EF team!

[@chrisstrider]

Fantastic race one of the best I have seen and an awesome winner ❤

[@ioplup]

Lmao this compared to the gcn KZbin highlights it's hilarious. How did they leave out the borgini crash and how close the peleton got. Thanks LR!

[@John.Tolkamp]

One of the best races ever! Proud 🇨🇦 Canuck.

[@TheChessRunner]

Jackson deserved the win. Since she was the main force in the break. But it feels more the peleton lost it, then the breakaway won to me.

[@lolzold4]

This race was AMAZING! Let's go breakaway! 🎉🎉🎉 (100% worth watching)

[@annikala]

The fact that she drove the break and then STILL won the sprint?? Truly incredible

[@wazzup105]

What a strong ride from Allison. Well deserved win.

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

This guy makes the best race analysis and comments. Great channel.

[@nl_2652]

Women’s kits are dope this year!! Looking sharp. 👍🏼

[@thebigbristolian]

What an incredible race! So much drama, so many people giving it their all. Just a wonderful race where someone in the twilight of their career can win the biggest race in front all the favourites.

[@jordancheyne7939]

So good to see Action Jackson take it. I think the main reason the break didn't get caught is that Trek would pull and attack and Kopecky would always be on the wheel and not pull through. They aren't going to take her up there the way shes been going. I think Kopecky should have attacked herself, much better odds than just Merkus

[@DrewMtl]

YES! YES! YES!!!! WAY to go Alison Jackson! In one race she has become a Canadian legend for all times!

[@umutaymakoglu4418]

Lach and Jackson worked their butts off and either one deserved the win.

[@Starclimber]

Argh! Had no idea this was on, and was up at 3:00 am unable to sleep. SUPER stoked for Jackson's win! Thanks for the 'edge of the seat' recap, LR!

[@frewhausen607]

Great race and finish. Love a good breakaway win.

[@sgameirojr]

She never gave up. Well deserved.

[@roblandes8416]

Incredible gritty performance Alison!

[@simongoh9461]

Jackson's win reminds me of Hayman's, one for the workhorse.

[@cyclewise6926]

She worked hard and she deserved that win, what a great ride

[@King_Kuromi]

Amazing race, amazing win

[@Symbioticism]

Unreal is correct: awesome race.

[@IsaacRC]

Very well covered! Thank you

[@charlyncorgan1954]

Alison Jackson- IG star and deserved winner of P-R. She's pure inspiration! Women's cycling is such a good sport. Thanks for promoting it. I just love watching.

[@charliedillon1400]

Congrats to Jackson, and to all the Canadian fans from the USA! Such a pleasure to see a womens' race not won by one of the same three top riders.

[@AB-fh9zh]

What an incredible race that was.

[@ultimatebasses]

Canada proud! 🇨🇦

[@denisedaly2307]

I'm just absolutely delighted for her, she pushed and showed initiative and creativity while the big favourites just lulled behind. Epic performance and steal on the line. I'm Irish but have followed Alison for the last few years because she's also a great person aswell as cyclist. Best performance won today. 🏆 ❤️🚲

[@holdenmcgroin8699]

What an effort! Well done!

[@mcspikesky]

Nice to see them not play games, and get it done! What a break

[@Nosh_Feratu]

one of the most deserving wins ive seen in a long time, a legendary Roubaix performance, it was just beautiful to watch!!

[@gregknipe8772]

such a memorable race. great coverage of the strategic points.

[@gregknipe8772]

just watched this a second time. go Canada! - from montana.

[@brianpostlethwaite]

Proud to be a Canadian cyclist today. Nice work Jackson

[@jascollinscork]

What a deserving winner in Alison Jackson 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻❤ looks like such a awkward rider on the but but clearly packing some serious HP 🦵🏻🦵🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@riancarr3827]

I remember when you had 3500 subs. Love your journey bud. Thanks for the inspiring coverage year after year. Never quit....

[@barretdunbar9114]

Pure class from Jackson

[@daniluis7777]

The so called favorites in the second group kept watching each other. The winner rode a great race. She deserve to win.

[@kayhayes5114]

A great win for Jackson. Chapeau to all the girls on the podium. The big riders didn’t respect you that’s why they lost. Giving a break that size that time madness

[@mitchellsteindler]

Still not much organization in women's cycling peloton it seems

[@edkriegepiano]

fantastic; thanks for the great coverage

[@carmenandthedevil2804]

Fantastic outcome. Very rare.

[@alfwilliams5446]

Chapeau to the winner! Loved her attitude and post-race energy!

[@scottbradentx]

Great win by a great rider!

[@Rune__]

Tomorrow Mads Pedersen’s turn to stand with the cobblestone trophy in his hand 🇩🇰🙆🏼‍♀️🇩🇰

[@osfan25]

What caused Femke Markus to crash in the velodrome? It looked like her front wheel locked up but that makes no sense unless it was a mechanical problem. I watched it a couple times and my only guess is that her front wheel slipped out in a weird way because of the bank of the track.

[@petervlugt2404]

She said, she was pushed. But I can't see when.

[@felixplay4637]

Only guess I have is something was on the Cote D´Azur or her tire that caused the wheel to slip but other than that I have no clue. Pretty unusual

[@ktakashismith]

My only thought is that her front tyre had lost enough pressure throughout the race to fold as it hit the gap between the track and the banking. Looked like her front wheel started to wash and then she may have panic-braked and gone OTB

[@vinniamsterdam700]

She clips the rear wheel of Lach.

[@robward10]

I've been trying to figure this out for a bit now. Crash is at @6:39. I think its a combo of things here, slight nudge on right elbow pushes fork to the left. Low tyre pressure means tyre grips, rolls under and because weight is still even through front it continues the front wheel trajectory. I'm kind of amazing that she didn't take down the whole group !

[@melissaflick9041]

MUCH better commentary that the other guys. Thanks, LR!

[@HeidiLandRover]

Wait ... there are other guys?

[@gusrallim]

Great race

[@rontimber8566]

Woo-woo. Way to go, Alison! 🎉 🇨🇦

[@lindajesse8250]

I wonder if Allison is related to former Canadian champ Linda Jackson who won in Hamilton, Ontario❤😊

[@planesandbikes7353]

wow Jackson fending off the chase group like that. Dominant like Van der Poel to sacrifice herself at the front, yet still be the fastest at the end!

[@foldupaudi7645]

That was an exciting race

[@OutsideLands77]

When Silicon Valley Bank looks back on the spring of 2023, I'm sure this'll be the only standout event. At least they got one win. Put Alison Jackson on the new SVB board 'cause she's an F'ing Boss!

[@codyrayl6629]

Thanks!

[@fgoehner]

Go Canada🎉🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@bengt_axle]

Hi LR (Patrick). What are those yellow and black barriers seen at (5:12)? Are these put there for the road traffic, or to keep the racers off the smooth section in this area? Great highlights, as always.

[@LanterneRougeCycling]

to keep the riders off the smooth section on the straight but they can use the smooth section in the corners. This is the section lampaert crashed with the spectator in last year, with the same set-up - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3i5Z52FbK2nl5Y

[@JDBees37]

When LR bucket hat merch?

[@escgoogle3865]

My magic 8 ball says "Merch drop for the Giro"

[@florianmeier3186]

Well deserved, great fighters in the break-away and it is a good sign that the favourits don't win with poor tactics anymore. That means the peloton is getting stronger and more balanced and that will help the sport even if there is also need for stars.

[@zroeder]

The lack of coverage of the break was kinda confusing, even, I think, to the US commentators. Absolutely amazing race though!

[@coopaloopmex]

Excellent!

[@lemairegilles2]

Félicitations 👍👍

[@crispyrad]

what a deserved victory!

[@mvaughan3546]

In the final…Take a close look at Marta Lach’s rear wheel hopping into Femke Marcus’ front wheel …was that a reaction to feeling the contact? Or did Lach initiate the contact?

[@ChipoJ]

Gotta love that EF still has Silicon Valley Bank SVB on their jerseys

[@pennyuyitung4854]

?Femke Markus (SD Worx) crashed on the final lap? What happened? The fall appears as if the front brake/wheel, locked up? Anyone have a better idea?

[@leendeen8745]

after mention of rain on track…in replay see rear wheel slip/slide of rider in front and hesitate in her pedaling. Then Femke loses front tire traction…

[@TheNotSoFakeNews]

Shades of Matt hayman

[@awesomeprunes]

big love

[@Adversitiv]

So good

[@Bebb77]

If you get pushed back in your seat, would all seats need to be forward facing?

[@ezquiel700c]

Can someone explain how the SDWorx crashed I can't figure it out

[@freddiecycles]

SVB logo still on the shorts 💀

[@germanlondono8700]

Trek, UAE and Canyon had 2 riders on the chasing group and if they would've committed and sacrificed for their leader, they would've been able to catch the breakaway. You need to be willing to give everything for your leader but none of those riders (i.e, Bastianelli or Consonni, Brand and the UK champion) did and that cost them the race. Also, as other commenter said, the SD Worx rider on the breakaway should have dropped to bring Kopecky when the gap was just 10 seconds. No one committed, no one sacrificed, just random attacks. I don't agree with the ones that are labelling this as a "shitshow" but it's certainly not something to take as an example on how to race or to race as a team.

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

I feel a little badly for Femke. She made it to the velodrome and had a free ride for the last 20k only to bump handlebars and go down. But what a ride by Jackson. Did all that work and then finished it off.
