The 121st edition of Paris-Roubaix is just a couple of months away and one of the teams hopeful of securing victory will be UAE Team Emirates. As such, a trio of team members have recently travelled to France for reconnaissance.
The 7th of April holds Paris-Roubaix this year, always one of the most exciting and entertaining races on the calendar. Three of the men who will hope to play some part of the action for UAE Team Emirates will be Tim Wellens, Nils Politt and Filippo Baroncini.
Courtesy of the official Instagram story of renowned one-day specialist Wellens, someone who notably has never raced the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix in the past, the UAE Team Emirates trio can be seen smiling, clearly happy with the work they have done for the day.
Last year, Mathieu van der Poel took the win at Paris-Roubaix in an Alpecin-Deceuninck one-two ahead of Jasper Philipsen. For UAE Team Emirates, the best-placed man was Sjoerd Bax, who came home 4:11 down on his compatriot in 13th position.
