Paris-Roubaix: The UAE Team Emirates heads to the French cobbled monument

Twenty-nine stretches of pavé and 256 km from Compiègne to Roubaix await the UAE Team Emirates in Paris-Roubaix this Sunday, April 14, 2019.

Allan Peiper (Aus) and Simone Pedrazzini (Swi) will direct the following seven men:
– Tom Bohli (Swi)
– Sven Erik Bystrøm (Nor)
– Fernando Gaviria (Col)
– Alexander Kristoff (Nor)
– Vegard Stake Laengen (Nor)
– Marco Marcato (Ita)
– Jasper Philipsen (Bel)

General Manager Joxean Matxin said, “Considering the good run of form and performances our cyclists have, we can look towards Paris-Roubaix with optimism. Our wish is to close the northern classics campaign with a significant result. Our goal is clear, a victory in the Hell of the North and just the desire to do well.

Alexander Kristoff will captain our team. He has been very effective so far and wants to set the record straight in Paris-Roubaix after a fall last year prevented him from being a sure protagonist.

We will have riders at his side to offer a great contribution and a Fernando Gaviria who, despite debuting in the race, has the necessary talent for to go strongly“.
