Key events can be any memorable event, for example an impressive victory but also a major crash, bold solo or anything that makes for sporting memories.
With 16 kilometers to go in the 2023 Paris-Roubaix on the infamous cobbles of Carrefour de l'Arbre, John Degenkolb crashed after touching with Mathieu van der Poel. Wout van Aert directly reacted by accelarating with Van der Poel chasing. Van Aert got a flat and when leaving the cobble section, Van der Poel had a 15 second advantage on the other favorites Stefan Küng, Mads Pedersen, Filippo Ganna, John Degenkolb and his teammate Jasper Philipsen.
