World champion Peter Sagan won the Paris-Roubaix classic race over 257km on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Slovak outsprinted Swiss champion Silvan Dillier at the finish of the iconic outdoor Roubaix velodrome at the end of a gruelling race known as the 'Hell of the North' because of its often perilous 54km of bone-crunching cobbled roads.
Sagan became the first world champion to win the one-day classic since Frenchman Bernard Hinault 37 years ago.
"I feel amazing, I'm so tired, but I was involved in no crashes, had no flat tyres and I just kept going," said Sagan, who at one point was caught on camera using an Allen key to make some on board repairs as he cycled along at more than 40km/h.
Dutch rider Niki Terpstra, who won the Tour of Flanders last week and the 2014 edition of Paris-Roubaix, completed the podium.
