On the one hand, Franziska Koch<\/a> (FDJ United-Suez) winning Paris-Roubaix Femmes<\/a>, only her fourth pro victory, was a surprise \u2013 on the other hand, it wasn\u2019t a surprise at all: From the start of the season, the 25-year-old German champion has been racing exceptionally well, and she crowned her spring campaign with the famous Roubaix pav\u00e9 trophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable. I dreamt of winning this race since the first edition. I finished top-ten there and realised that this crazy race is a race for me. There is always some chaos, so I knew this is a race that suits me. We had such a good start with the team this season. Demi won last week, and the team was really seeing I had great shape. To finish it off today is amazing,\u201d Koch said at the post-race press conference.<\/p>\n
