The spectator who threw a water bottle at Mathieu van der Poel during last weekend’s Paris-Roubaix has issued a public apology, calling his act a "stupid gesture."

The Lille public prosecutor’s office confirmed Monday that it has opened an investigation into "violence with a weapon" after a water bottle was thrown at Mathieu van der Poel during his Paris-Roubaix victory on Sunday.

Mathieu van der Poel won cycling's Paris-Roubaix for a third straight time on Sunday, edging Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar in the race nick-named 'The Hell of the North.'

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot delivered a masterpiece on the cobbles of northern France, soloing to victory at Paris-Roubaix Femmes and claiming the first-ever French win in the history of the women’s race.

By Sunday evening, Mathieu van der Poel could become the first back-to-back Paris-Roubaix winner since Tom Boonen. But don’t expect the reigning champion to go it alone. Jasper Philipsen, twice a runner-up here, is more than just a shadow. He’s a contender. And together, they’re ready to shake the race apart.

American cycling legend Greg LeMond believes Tadej Pogacar can conquer the grueling Paris-Roubaix at his first attempt on Sunday—and is well on his way to becoming the sport’s greatest rider of all time.

Joao Almeida soloed to an impressive stage four victory at the Tour of the Basque Country on Thursday, also taking control of the overall lead.

Tim Merlier delivered a statement sprint on Wednesday, claiming his second consecutive Scheldeprijs victory and proving once again that he’s the fastest man in the world over the final 200 meters.

The 2025 edition of Paris–Roubaix may be 400 meters shorter on cobbles than last year, but don’t let that fool you—this will still be hell on wheels.

Max Schachmann of Soudal–Quick Step won the opening day individual time trial at the Tour of the Basque Country on Monday, completing the 16.5km route around Vitoria-Gasteiz in 18 minutes and 37 seconds.

Tadej Pogacar won an epic see-saw showdown at the Tour of Flanders 2025 on Sunday, soloing home from 15 kilometers, with Mads Pedersen edging Mathieu Van der Poel to second at the line a minute later and Wout van Aert fourth.

The cycling season is filled with storied events. Some are one-day battles. Some last weeks.

No one gets handed the Tour of Flanders. Not Mathieu van der Poel. Not Tadej Pogačar. And certainly not Wout van Aert, no matter how badly Belgium wants it.

You want a wildcard for the 2025 Tour of Flanders? A rider who’s not quite a favorite, but could absolutely blow it apart if the stars align? That’s Mads Pedersen.

Mathieu van der Poel is on the verge of history. The Dutchman lines up Sunday at the Tour of Flanders aiming to become the first rider in history to win the cobbled Monument four times—and he says he's ready.
