Paris-Roubaix is one of the most treacherous and dangerous races in professional cycling, and the most dangerous sector is ironically a completely straightforward one: Trouée d'Arenberg. However, riders usually hit it at high speeds, and race organizers have made a change to the route so as to prevent this.
"For safety reasons and following a request from CPA Cycling, the Paris-Roubaix organisation is modifying the approach to the Trouée d'Arenberg," organizers have shared on social media. "The route will take a chicane just before the entrance to the sector in order to slow the speed at which the riders enter the sector and limit the risk of crashes on the cobbles."
