Paris-Roubaix cobbles dry and in good situation

As is the custom each week forward of Paris-Roubaix, the race director Thierry Gouvenou and now the Paris-Roubaix Femmes director Franck Perque fastidiously preview all the stretches of slim, tough cobblestone farm roads and assign stars for the extent of problem.

After Tuesday’s reconnaissance, the ASO stripped one star of problem from the 2022 Paris-Roubaix route and reported that the pavé sectors are dry and in unusually good situation.

“I do not keep in mind the cobblestones ever being so dry and so good earlier than,” Gouvenou mentioned, based on Sporza. “They’re exceptionally dry. Usually you need to do some fine-tuning after such a reconnaissance, however that is not the case now.”
