World road race champion Lotte Kopecky won her first women's Paris-Roubaix as Great Britain's Pfeiffer Georgi claimed a podium place in a sprint finish.
But she fought back to edge out the Netherlands' three-time world champion champion Marianne Vos for third."This was the goal of the season," said SD Worx-Protime rider Kopecky, 28, who was fifth in the Tour of Flanders last Sunday and won Strade Bianche in March. "I can't believe it. This is a dream race. I know it is not the win but it means a lot. Some of these girls were my heroes growing up so to stand on the podium with them is pretty crazy for me," she added.The men's race will take place on Sunday, when the Netherlands' Tour of Flanders winner Mathieu van der Poel will attempt to complete the classic cobble double.
