Lizzie Deignan | Fine Bone China Mug | Handmade Cyclist
Description
October 2021: Lizzie Deignan wins the first ever Paris - Roubaix Femmes, riding solo for over 80km. A truly historic ride in every sense.
The world had waited for over 100 years for the first women's Roubaix and it did not disappoint. Wet, muddy, brutal - the ultimate test in the greatest classic of them all.
Reflecting on her victory Deignan dedicated it to every woman previously denied the chance to race over the brutal Roubaix pavé.
"I raced today with the power of generations of women who were denied the opportunity"
