Paris-Roubaix preview
A one-day race gives every dog the opportunity to have its day, and Paris-Roubaix, the so-called "Hell of the North", is the daddy of them all. A puncture here, a mechanical failure there, yet another damned puncture – this is an event that delights in throwing spanners into the works and shaking up the order late on, as Wout van Aert and Matej Mohoric would testify.
The treacherous Haspres sector features on the route for the first time since 2004.
Mohoric led the way a year ago before a flat ruined his race. Dylan van Baarle seized his opportunity, making a break for the lead before Carrefour de l’Arbre and never looking back, while van Aert rode to second despite suffering a puncture of his own.
The Belgian's battle with his Dutch rival Mathieu van der Poel will be one of the main attractions at the 120th edition of the race, which begins in Compiegne and finishes at the Roubaix Velodrome, 257km away.
The treacherous Haspres sector features on the route for the first time since 2004, but it's the five-star trio of Trouée d'Arenberg, Mons-en-Pévèle and Carrefour de l'Arbre that will inevitably shape the outcome of the race.
