Each of the 25 teams will field a roster of eight riders, who will tackle the 257km route that includes 29 sectors of cobbled roads comprising 55km.
ASO has slotted in two early cobbled sectors in this year's race that have not been used since 1987, Briastre and Solesmes.
Last year's Paris-Roubaix was won by Australian Mathew Hayman (Orica-Scott). Hayman goes into this year's 115th edition as defending champion and will face four-time winner and last year's runner-up Tom Boonen (Quick-Step Floors) in his last appearance before retirement.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
