Lizzie Deignan wrote her name into cycling's history books with victory in the first ever running of a women's Paris-Roubaix.
The English rider conquered the 'Hell of the North' with a superb solo ride, taking victory by 77 seconds from Marianne Vos, who had cut almost a minute out of her advantage with a late counter-attack.
Deignan launched her move with a little over 80km to go, on the first of the 17 cobbled sections on the 116km route between Denain and the famous Roubaix velodrome.
With the 'unlucky' number 13 on her back, the 2015 world champion gradually built a lead, pulling a minute clear within 15km of going clear.
That lead nudged towards two minutes as they hit the Auchy-lez-Orchies sector of cobbles a little more than 50km from the finish.
The Trek-Segafredo rider's rear wheel was skidding in the mud as she battled to stay upright - a fight others behind, including newly-crowned world champion Elisa Balsamo, would lose.
Vos, a three-time winner of the rainbow jersey, launched an attack from the chasing group with 19km to go - the Jumbo-Visma rider's sudden acceleration on the cobbles causing a crash from which only she and Deignan's team-mate Elisa Longo Borghini emerged.
Vos cut the gap down to 75 seconds on the last of the major cobbled sections, but could make no further inroads in the final 10km as Deignan soloed to victory.
The 32-year-old began her celebrations early as she rounded the velodrome before collapsing in tears at the finish.
