Sunday’s 107th running of the Paris-Roubaix, aka ‘The Hell of the North’ is a tough race to win…heck, it’s a tough race to ride…and only the most experienced riders are favored in this classic of classics.
VeloNews is naming names, putting George Hincapie (Columbia-Highroad), Tom Boonen and Stijn Devlolder (Quick Step), Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank) or Fabian Cancellara (Saxo Bank)
Devolder is fresh of last weekend’s win at the Tour of Flanders.  Cancellara, meanwhile, might be a little fresher since he pulled out of the Flanders classic early due to a broken chain.
