Van der Poel is another favourite in the fight over cobblestones

With just under 56 kilometers of cobblestone sections, one of the toughest races of the year awaits riders in Paris-Roubaix. Between the starting point of Compiègne and the Roubaix velodrome, where the traditional finish takes place, these lanes are spread over 29 so-called sectors in a total of 280 kilometers.
