Like several other teams lining up at Paris-Roubaix on Sunday, Trek-Segafredo will line up with more than one leader for the cobbled Monument. Former world champion Mads Pedersen and Milan-San Remo champion Jasper Stuyven lead the American team at what is expected to be the first wet edition of the race since 2002.

On Friday, the pair gave a pre-race press conference where they discussed the hottest topic of conversation of the week – the weather forecast and the potential for pitfalls during the race.
