LIVE Paris-Roubaix | Early breakaways are not given any space in the lightning-fast opening phase towards the cobblestones

Paris-Roubaix, also known as the Hell of the North, will be held. Dylan van Baarle is the defending champion, but the Dutchman is not one of the top favorites in the cycling monument after his fall in the E3 Saxo Bank Classic. That role is reserved for Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert. Can anyone stay near them on the cobbles in northern France? The finish is around 5 p.m., follow the developments in our live blog.
