Lotte Kopecky wins the challenging Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2024, becoming the Queen of the Classics and achieving the biggest result of her career, with a thrilling sprint finish over Marianne Vos and Elisa Balsamo. The race saw intense action over the cobbled sectors, with Kopecky's victory fulfilling her long-awaited dream since the race's creation four years ago.
Canadian cyclist Alison Jackson won the Paris-Roubaix Femmes race, evoking memories of her childhood on a farm in Alberta where she had to pick rocks by hand. Jackson spent the race out in the early breakaway, which gained six minutes on the peloton by the time they hit the first cobbled sector. She returned to racing for the Flandrian Classics of Gent-Wevelgem, Dwars door Vlaanderen, and the Tour of Flanders, despite a deep cut in her knee and four stitches to the wound. Jackson's win cements a dream comeback from the crash at the Ronde van Drenthe in mid-March.
