Jackson celebrates Paris-Roubaix win: "I won a stone

A week after her stunning victory in Paris-Roubaix, Allison Jackson (EF Education - Tibco - SVB) is celebrating her success in her trademark style on social media.

Alison Jackson, a 34-year-old Canadian athlete, took to Instagram on Saturday to show off her song and dance with the cobbled trophy, which is awarded annually to the winning athlete at the French monument." I won the stone," Jackson wrote in the post, incorporating a bit of clever wordplay by dancing to Twisted Sister's 1984 hit "I Wanna Rock."

Saturday's post is just the latest in a long line of social media star-making for Jackson, whose dance moves appear frequently on her TikTok and Instagram pages.

In fact, she shared a video of herself dancing with her teammates during the Roubaix Recon Ride and even danced on television coverage of the moment she won the velodrome.

Jackson jumped into the early breakaway and went on to win the Roubaix sprint, a victory that, in addition to her stage wins at the Simac Women's Tour and Women's Tour of Scotland, gave her the Canadian national titles in road racing and time trial in 2021 It was the biggest so far in her career.

Jackson, who became famous for her TikTok and Instagram Reels videos, was asked by Cyclingnews at the post-race press conference if she was already planning a dance. When Cyclingnews asked, "Oh my gosh, yes. I'd love to teach this little rock how to dance."

The win was also her team's first professional race victory of the year outside of Georgia Williams' victory in the New Zealand time trial.

Jackson, who first raced for the Tibco team in 2018-2019, returned to the team this season after spending one season at Sunweb and two at the Rib Organization.

Following his victory in Roubaix, Jackson will start Wednesday at Brabantse Pijl in Belgium before getting back on the bike Sunday at the Amstel Gold Race in the Netherlands.
