Cobbled Classics season is drawing to a close but the most brutal race of them all is on the way as the men's and women's pelotons take on Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Roubaix Femmes.

The cobbled races in the north of France are among the most eagerly anticipated of the season and boast start lists full of stars as well as kilometre after kilometre of some of the toughest roads of the calendar.

Last April we saw Dylan van Baarle (now of Jumbo-Visma) and Elisa Longo Brghini (Trek-Segafredo) solo home to glory in the Roubaix velodrome. The pair will be back this weekend along with a host of stars to do battle on famous cobbled sectors such as the Arenberg and Carrefour de l'Arbre.

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X), Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo), and Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) will be among those riders headlining the men's race on Sunday.

The day before, look to the likes of Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), Lucinda Brand (Trek-Segafredo), Norsgaard (Movistar), Marta Cavalli (FDJ-Suez), and Pfeiffer Georgi (Team DSM) to star in the women's race.
