Highlights of Paris-Roubaix 2016
You can count on Paris-Roubaix to deliver drama, dirt, distress and more. This year’s 114th edition of Paris-Roubaix was no different.
History of Paris-Roubaix
“Paris–Roubaix from its beginning in 1896 until 1967 it started in Paris and ended in Roubaix; in 1966 the start moved to Chantilly and since 1977 it starts in Compiègne (about 85 kilometres (53 mi) north-east from Paris centre). The finish is still in Roubaix. …
Famous for rough terrain and cobblestones… it has been called the Hell of the North, a Sunday in Hell (also the title of a film about the 1976 race), the Queen of the Classics or la Pascale: the Easter race.”

Snow Day for the Peloton
Stage 3 of Paris-Nice was cancelled due to heavy snow. VeloNews reports:
Snow and cold forced organizers to cancel Wednesday’s third stage at Paris-Nice. Conditions worsened midway through the seven-climb stage, prompting officials to neutralize, and then cancel the stage.
“The road was very slippery and safe conditions could not be assured,” the ASO’s Christian Prudhomme said, explaining the decision to first neutralize and then cancel the stage. Road conditions worsened as the course climbed the Cote des Écharmeaux at 714m (2,343 feet), a little more than halfway through the lumpy, 168km third stage from Cusset to Mont Brouilly.
