The Cobbles of Roubaix

In the 2013 edition of Paris-Roubaix there have once again been several changes to the parcours. The 27 sections of cobbles are listed below at what kilometre that come in the race, their length and their rating between 1-5 stars. Fabian Cancellara will start the race as outright favorite but with the race throwing up the odd suprise winner, he may have to settle for only a victory at De Ronde in 2013 and try again for a second Ronde-Roubaix Double.
