Only a week on from getting caught in a mass crash at the Dwars door Vlaanderen, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) enters the final race of cobbled Classics season at Paris-Roubaix standing above the rest as the man primed to take the fight to Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen.
The Alpecin-Deceuninck duo, who scored a one-two finish at the Velodrome André-Pétrieux last year, are overwhelming favourites to do so again in a peloton shorn of several top contenders, namely Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike).
