2007 Paris–Roubaix

The 2007 Paris–Roubaix was the 105th running of the Paris–Roubaix single-day cycling race, often known as the Hell of the North. It was held on 15 April 2007 over a distance of 259 kilometres (160.9 miles). Among the participating favorites were 2006 champion Fabian Cancellara and 2005 champion Tom Boonen. While the race has a flat parcours, the often poor weather and long sections of cobblestone roads which are traditionally incorporated make for a difficult race, rarely featuring an en masse sprint finish. The race is part of the 2007 UCI ProTour.
