Tim van Dijke relegated at Paris-Roubaix for leaving velodrome during sprint

Tim van Dijke was the best-placed finisher for Team Visma | Lease a Bike at Paris-Roubaix 2024, sprinting to 8th place. Initially at least, as the Dutchman has since been relegated.

With Tim and his brother, Mick van Dijke a consistent presence at the front of the race, the 24-year-old came into the velodrome still very much in the mix for a top-10 placing and thought he had done enough to secure it too with his sprint.

Upon review however, the race jury has judged that van Dijke's sprint took him off of the velodrome track and therefore seen fit to relegate him down to 16th place. Still good enough for best-placed within Team Visma | Lease a Bike but no longer a top-10 monument finish.
