This Sunday, Paris-Roubaix will mark the end of the intense period of the Flandriennes. World champion Mathieu Van der Poel will wear the costume of big favorite.

Four races (amateurs, juniors, hopefuls, women) will precede the 121st edition. The “duration of the tough” will celebrate the return to the route of the sectors of Briastre (km 111.5) and the hamlet of Buat (km 129.5), the only uphill sector.
