Hundreds of fans and amateur riders came to test the famous cobbles of Paris-Roubaix. They will be carefully watching the passage of the famous chicane, installed at the entrance to the Trouée d'Arenberg to slow down the peloton.
"It's one of the best weekends of the year. It's the atmosphere, but if you know a little about cycling, it's a monument," says one fan. "Because faces are changing, the features are drawn and the arms tremble," says another.
