Mathieu van der Poel, Jasper Philipsen and Tim Merlier will attend the edition number 118 of Paris-Roubaix as confirmed by the Alpecin-FENIX.
The famous competition – also know as the Hell of the North for is strenuous route – will take place on October 3rd starting in Compiègne, north of Paris, and ending at the Vélodrome André-Pétrieux in Roubaix. The riders will have to cover a distance of 259 km with 30 sectors of pave covering (55km). Paris-Roubaix was inaugurated in 1896, making it also one of the oldest bike races in the world. Last year the race was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic so there is a great expectation for the 2021 edition.
Paris-Roubaix is for sure one the most fascinating bike races and we are as excited as our cyclists to participate. The countdown has started, the Queen of Classics is coming!
