London to Doha: Cancellara back after dark period
Spartacus feels good about his chances in the spring, but says he'll need a lot of luck to win San Remo, Flanders or Roubaix
The Hell of the North. The Queen of the Classics. First held in 1896, Paris-Roubaix is without question the hardest, most brutal one-day road race in the world. Starting from Compiègne just north of Paris and heading to Roubaix in northern France, the route tackles a number of cobblestone sectors in the latter half of its roughly 280km distance. The pavé sectors make or break many a riders’ race, most often the latter.
