The duo managed to hold off the chasers despite numerous attempts by Niki Terpstra to close the gap. Sagan then outsprinted Dillier on the famous velodrome to claim the victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was younger, it was always my dream to win Paris-Roubaix,\u201d Sagan said. \u201cI didn\u2019t think about the World Championships and Flanders. If someone asked me if I would change my World title for Roubaix, I\u2019d say no, but now I have Flanders and Roubaix. That\u2019s an amazing feeling. It\u2019s very nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhUWC7hDwTs\/?taken-by=petosagan<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time that I was fighting for first place in my life in the velodrome. It was emotional. I just felt good and I knew I\u2019d had a good spring and could do well here,\u201d Sagan continued. \u201cI was confident, but also, I will never undervalue somebody. I was also cramping in the end too. In the end, I did it. It\u2019s a very big moment for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udfa5De Compi\u00e8gne \u00e0 Roubaix, revivez une journ\u00e9e en Enfer&#8230; au coeur du peloton.  <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5From Compi\u00e8gne to Roubaix, relive a day in the Hell&#8230; at the heart of the peloton. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ParisRoubaix?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ParisRoubaix<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/E042liMs26\">pic.twitter.com\/E042liMs26<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Paris-Roubaix (@parisroubaix) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/parisroubaix\/status\/983088270031630338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>His victory was, however, overshadowed by the unfortunate death of Veranda\u2019s Willems-Crelan rider Michael Goolaerts.
