Which edition of Paris-Roubaix was the best? You decide in round 2
Vote in the second round for the most exciting battles on the pavé of Hell of the North
The first round of voting in Cyclingnews' poll to find the best edition of Paris-Roubaix over the past 30 years has been completed, and the readers have spoken: all eight winners have come from the past 15 years.
Two of Tom Boonen's four Roubaix victories made the second round, with Fabian Cancellara's incredible 52km solo attack from 2010 also making the cut. Peter Sagan's spectacular 2018 escape, Johan Vansummeren's unexpected 2011 victory from the breakaway and last year's victory by Philippe Gilbert all advanced to round 2.
The oldest editions - Boonen's groundbreaking first win in 2005 and Stuart O'Grady's amazing ride in 2007 to make history as the first Australian winner - were also fan favourites along with Mat Hayman's inspiring 2016 Paris-Roubaix win.
Be sure to vote in Round 2! The top two of each Round 1 winners will advance with one from each repechage round.
