Paris-Roubaix 2019: its race route, its cobble stones sections and other details of the Hell of the North
The queen of the classics, Paris-Roubaix 2019, will take this Sunday. For the 117th edition of the race, the organisor chose to slightly modify last year's race route: the start is a bit different, but this time also the 6 first cobble stones sections, between Troisvilles and Verchain-Maugré. The number of sections however remain the same (29) and there will still be a total distance of 54.5 kilometers of cobbles. The total distance of the race also remains the same, 257 kilometers.

In the Hell of the North a small problem can however come disturb a rider's race, while others can be lucky. Nothing's thus defined beforehand and it'll be this Sunday on the cobbles that we'll see who manges to win the race ... which doesn't have a big favourite this year!
