Steve Bauer proud of Alison Jackson following "a historic victory" at Paris-Roubaix
CyclingSunday, 09 April 2023 at 13:07
Ex-pro and fellow Canadian Steve Bauer has expressed his immense pride at seeing Alison Jackson take a surprise victory at Paris-Roubaix Femmes.
"It's a fantastic achievement for Alison and Canadian cycling. Congratulations to her for such a historic victory as the first Canadian man or woman to win Paris-Roubaix," the 63-year-old Bauer revealed in an interview with Cycling News.
"The way she rode in the final was really impressive. She pushed that breakaway to the end and was working the whole time and still beat everyone in the sprint," the Canadian continued. "She proved she was the strongest and it was fantastic to see."
Bauer himself isn't finished with Paris-Roubaix just yet. As the sports director at Israel-Premier Tech, Bauer who famously came so close to his own win at the Hell of the North 33 years ago, will be hoping to guide the likes of Sep Vanmarcke to victory in the men's race.

- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026

- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
