Cycling: the Paris-Roubaix peloton traumatized by falls. After spectacular falls having seriously injured two stars of world cycling in recent weeks, the question of safety arises.

Mathieu van der Poel is the overwhelming favorite to win the Hell of the North on Sunday. Since its first edition in 1896, the Queen of Classics has broken men and their machines on its six million often dislocated paving stones. The peloton is already “ traumatized ” by the serious falls which sent several cycling stars to hospital.
