The Scheldeprijs: the race where the hills are so shallow that even Marcel Kittel could handle them. This time the five-time winner is back as the sprint coach of Dylan Groenewegen.

Le nouveau champion est arrivé.

So the official name is now "Paris—Roubaix Hauts-de-France". Even better would be "The Hell of the North: From Compiègne to Roubaix".

Henri Cornet was 19 years and 11 months when he won the Tour in 1904. Paul Seixas will be 19 years and 10 months in July.
