Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2023: Alison Jackson takes shock win as breakaway land mission impossible
Alison Jackson (EF Education–Tibco–SVB) produced a seismic shock to win Paris-Roubaix Femmes as the breakaway held off a chasing group packed with pre-race favourites.
The seven-strong alliance saw their lead slashed to just 10 seconds at one point as they arrived on the final section of cobblestones with 1.4km remaining, but they went down swinging and held on to reach the famous Roubaix Velodrome with a slender advantage as a sprint beckoned.

Marta Lach (Ceratizit–WNT Pro Cycling) led the unlikely group through the bell as Femke Markus, the sole SD Worx rider at the front, suffered a heartbreaking crash to rule her out. And it was Canada’s Jackson who prevailed in a thrilling dash to the line as Katia Ragusa (Liv Racing TeqFind) and Marthe Truyen (Fenix-Deceuninck) claimed second and third respectively to complete the most implausible podium.
