The queen of the classics, Paris-Roubaix 2022, will take place this Sunday 17 April. For the 119th edition of the race, the organisor decided to modify the race route just a little bit compared to last year, for the first cobble stones sections: the Vertain (# 26) section finds back its longer version, just like the Saulzoir (# 24) section. The number of sections remains the same however (30) and 54.8 kilometers of cobble stones will be awaiting the riders. The total distance of the race will be 257.2 kilometers.

In the Hell of the North a very small thing can come ruin the race for a rider or come at hand for another. Nothing's thus decided upfront, it'll be this Sunday on the cobbles that the whole story will be written!
