Paris-Roubaix
Tune in for live coverage, Sunday, April 13. One of cycling’s monuments, Paris-Roubaix is the grand-daddy of spring classics. With its infamous, rough, cobblestone farm roads, notorious weather and punishing speeds, the race lives up to its moniker l’enfer du Nord or “Hell of the North.” Often called the Queen of the Classics, its nearly 30 sections of cobblestones or pavé capped by the famous Arenberg section leave survivors a jumbled mess when they arrive to the velodrome in Roubaix. The winner always receives a rousing cheer and chapeau for a job well done.
