Paris-Roubaix: Yves Lampaert says judo move saved him from serious injury
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl star defends his racing tactic, and says it's up to fans to watch out for riders, not the other way around.
The Hell of the North. The Queen of the Classics. First held in 1896, Paris-Roubaix is without question the hardest, most brutal one-day road race in the world. Starting from Compiègne just north of Paris and heading to Roubaix in northern France, the route tackles a number of cobblestone sectors in the latter half of its roughly 280km distance. The pavé sectors make or break many a riders’ race, most often the latter.
