Cyclist Lizzie Deignan crowned first winner of Paris-Roubaix Femmes

On Saturday, British cyclist Lizzie Deignan made history. She won the first-ever women’s edition of what is considered one of the hardest bike races in the world. France’s Paris-Roubaix is nicknamed the “Hell of the North,” and is famous for its 70-mile trek through muddy terrain and uneven cobblestones. For the first time this year, women competed in the Paris-Roubaix Femmes. And Deignan is now the first queen of the cobbles. She joins The World’s host Marco Werman.
