PARIS—For as long as Zoe Bäckstedt has been serious about racing bicycles, her father has sat her down each spring to watch an old video of Paris-Roubaix 2004. Together, they watch the miserable, bone-chattering dash across the cobblestones of northern France and Zoe’s dad, a former bike racer named Magnus, begins commentating.
He points out tricky corners and breaks down the tactics, mile by mile, right down to the potholes. By now, Zoe knows his whole spiel by heart. Then, right at the end, comes the best part. That’s when a young Magnus Bäckstedt crosses
the race’s famous velodrome finish line for the finest victory of his 17-year professional career.
