With strong results already in the cobbled Classics this season Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale will be looking to continue their run of impressive performances at Paris-Roubaix this weekend.
They are set to be led by Oliver Naesen and Dries De Bondt in the Hell of the North on Sunday, with the experience of Edvald Boasson Hagen, who finished fifth at this race in 2016, set to support them alongside Sander De Pestel, Jordan Labrosse, Pierre Gautherat and Damien Touzé.

Naesen seems to be in good form this season, as he finished fourth at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in February and backed up that result last weekend with a seventh place finish at the Ronde van Vlaanderen. De Bondt will also be looking to put in a good performance on Sunday, as he finished fifth at Dwars door Vlaanderen last week, but abandoned the race at De Ronde.
Speaking to his team ahead of the race, De Bondt said “anything is possible in this race, anything can happen behind every turn and every cobbled sector, depending on the weather conditions with mud or rain: a rider can come back from a crash, he can have a puncture. That’s what makes it one of the most beautiful races in my eyes, the most heroic. If all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, great things can happen”.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
