Course Preview
On Sunday, 7 April, the bunch sets off for the 121st edition of Paris-Roubaix, the third of five Monuments on the cycling calendar. Also known as the ‘Hell of the North,’ Paris-Roubaix is one of the oldest and one of the most difficult one-day races. Riders have to endure a daunting gauntlet of cobbled sectors before the finish in the Roubaix Velodrome. This year’s route adds up to some 260 kilometres, with 55 kilometres on bone-jarring farm roads.
A perfect blend of positioning, power, and tactical nous is required if a rider is to lift the famous cobble-stone trophy awarded to the victor, not to mention a large slice of luck. Given the conditions, mechanical issues are unavoidable in Roubaix, and the timing can be the difference between winning and losing.
Mathieu van der Poel won last year’s Paris-Roubaix. The Dutchman was flanked on the podium by his team mates Jasper Philipsen and Wout van Aert.
