Niki Terpstra after winning Paris-Roubaix 2014 (OPQS YouTube still)Video: Follow Omega Pharma-Quick Step as Niki Terpstra wins Paris-Roubaix
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.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
