Arguably the most exciting race of the spring Classics is nearly upon us, as Paris-Roubaix 2019 is only days away.

One of the biggest days on the racing calendar, the unpredictable and chaotic nature of the race can boil down to luck as much as form, with absolutely no certainties as to who will cross the line first.

Jonny Long

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.

I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.

Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).

I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
