Paris-Roubaix is tomorrow. The Hell of the North. 256 kilometres from Compiègne to the Roubaix Vélodrome, with 30 cobbled sectors standing between the peloton and cycling's most iconic finish. Pogačar arrives chasing a historic fourth Monument in a single spring. Van der Poel defends as champion. We break down the key sectors — Arenberg, Mons-en-Pévèle, Carrefour de l'Arbre — the tactical scenarios, and what to watch for when the race hits the cobbles.
