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.
Other riders likely to be vying for a spot on the podium in the iconic Roubaix velodrome are Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe), Ian Stannard (Team Sky), Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors), Alexander Kristoff (Katusha-Alpecin) and John Degenkolb (Trek-Segafredo).
The full startlist will be announced in the week prior to the race.
