DETAILS
The 2020 Roubaix Challenge event will be held on Saturday 11 April the day before the ‘Hell of the North’ the Paris Roubaix Pro Race which takes places on Sunday 12 April, 2020. Sports tours international offers a variety of hotels for 3 nights with guaranteed entry as well as various other travel options to this enormously popular, mythical race.

The shorter Roubaix Challenge distances start and finish at the Roubaix Velodrome which is within cycling distance from our hotels in Roubaix and the long distance which starts in Busigny requires a transfer to the start which we also provide.

Philippe Gilbert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) delivered a masterclass on the way to Roubaix to claim his fifth success in a Monument, after his victories in Lombardia (2009, 2010), Liège (2011) and Flanders (2017). The Belgian star is the first rider to dominate four different Monuments since Sean Kelly in the 1980s. The race was hard-fought from km 0 until the finish in the velodrome, where Philippe Gilbert outsprinted Nils Politt (Katusha Alpecin). Yves Lampaert (Deceuninck-Quick Step) came third, ahead of Sep Vanmarcke (EF Education First) and Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe), who also featured in the long-rang attack that eventually led to Gilbert’s triumph

"Excellent and everything worked out perfectly"

During my Tour of the Paris Roubaix on the 11th – 14th of April the work from all the people such as Roy Pearson, Ed Nicoll, Dave and especially Andy and his wife Julie was sensational. Overall the event was excellent and everything worked out perfectly. I enjoyed the entire trip and would be happy to do more again with this company due to their excellent work and support for the customers. Andy and his wife Julie were on the coach during the trip and were able to have fun and create an engaging and informative atmosphere whilst travelling. It would be great if you could pass this message on to them and tell them to keep up the good work

"Paris Roubaix"

I thought it was a fantastic weekend and everything was spot on from a cyclist point of view. I didn’t have to do anything but turn up ride my bike on the first day and on the second day get a chance to watch the professionals race. In addition the hotel and food was just what was needed especially after the long days. I would also like to praise Andy and Julie who got us to the right places t the right time and made our tour so enjoyable - big thanks to them.
