Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team has announced the selection that will participate in 254km Paris-Roubaix, which takes place on April 7th.
The more than 50km of cobbled roads — which are about 100km into the race — are what define perhaps the biggest race of the Classics. The most crucial section of cobbles is the 2.4km Trouée d'Arenberg at 158km, but there are 27 numbered cobbled sectors to get through. One moment of bad luck can ruin a race, and one brilliant, well timed move can mean victory.
