Roubaix

"You're gonna think I'm just saying it because she's sat next to me but it was genuinely Lizzie's speech after Roubaix," says Wolff, who competes for the Visma Lease a Bike team.

Then after Roubaix I thought 'this is the coolest thing ever.'

"Most people talk to me now about winning Roubaix - it's famous for being tough and relentless. I was sliding all over place, but proved I was able to handle the bike, which blew out any underestimation of us."

Just as when she delivered that podium speech in Roubaix, of which she says "there was pressure on that interview", Deignan chooses her words carefully but effectively here.

"Roubaix is a completely different race, but I will accept the challenge and try to do my best," added Pogacar.
