Alison Jackson has lost count of the number of interviews she has done about Paris-Roubaix. “I remember that week, I had one day of media that was eight hours,” she tells Cycling Weekly on a pub bench in East London. “People came to the Airbnb, we did a ride, and they followed me around. It was like interview after interview and sometimes I would feel like I was quoting myself.”
The attention was no surprise, really. Given the scale of what she achieved, people will ask Jackson about the race for the rest of her life. She smiles at the thought.
