Taking in one of Europe's best known and iconic rides for each month, the duo ride the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix with Team Sky to reconnoitre the route ahead of Paris-Roubaix, before attaching their own frame numbers for the Tour of Flanders sportive.
The next stop on their journey is Mont Ventoux, then it's back to Blighty for the Dragon Ride and other routes closer to home.
