Live from the Classics: A fan's guide to Paris-Roubaix

Rouleur's roving reporters Rachel Jary and Chris Marshall-Bell spent a day taking on the brutal but beautiful cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. Along the way, they asked the most important questions: Where are the goats? How many days in advance do you need to arrive to get a good spot in the Arenberg Forest? Can you fit more than five Oreos in the gaps between the cobbles? Is the Hell of the North really as hard as everyone makes out? And most importantly, can Chris beat Rachel in a sprint finish at the Roubaix velodrome? It was a big day out for both riders, but spoiler alert, they didn't take any Strava KOMs...
