Six riders then eventually broke away from the rest of the peloton: Tom Boonen, Juan Antonio Flecha, Leif Hoste, Thor Hushovd, Filippo Pozzato and Johan Van Summeren. At Carrefour de l'Arbre, about 15 kilometres from the finish, Flecha crashed and took Hoste with him in his fall. Van Summeren and Pozzato were held back which allowed Boonen and Hushovd to break away. However, just a few hundred metres further, Hushovd also crashed and Boonen continued on his own. Pozzato came to within 10 seconds but never managed to close the gap, allowing Boonen to win.https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/cycling/7996140.stm Boonen claims third Paris–Roubaix 2009-04-12 BBC Sport 2009-04-16Weislo Laura Decaluwé Brecht 12 April 2009 Boonen's magical third! https://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2009/apr09/roubaix09/?id=results 2025-04-23 Cyclingnews.com Nearly all of the riders featured in the top ten endured at least a minor crash.
