Zwift Stories - Mathew Hayman wins Paris-Roubaix

A PARIS-ROUBAIX FAIRY TALE RELIVED

10 Years Since Mathew Hayman recovered from a broken arm six weeks earlier to claim the ultimate cobbled classic

As we look forward to another thrilling edition of Paris-Roubaix this weekend, we've been digging through the archive to relive one of the ultimate fairy tale stories from the Queen of the Classics.

With 14 editions of Paris-Roubaix under his belt, Mathew Hayman was training full gas for the 2016 Spring Classics season when he sustained a broken arm at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Only 6 weeks out from Paris-Roubaix Mat's confidence was at an all time low until he discovered Zwift. What unfolded after was a story that defied all odds.

Sit back, relax, and get in the mood for a Sunday in Hell!
