ROUBAIX, France: Belgian veteran Philippe Gilbert won the cobbled classic Paris Roubaix cycling race on Sunday after a cat-and-mouse final struggle with Germany's Nils Politt while another Belgian Yves Lampaert was third.
Gilbert called his bid for all five Monuments 'Strive for Five', after winning Flanders solo in front of adoring home crowds in 2017. The race was marked by relatively few crashes, although Tiesj Benoot went to hospital after crashing through the back windscreen of the Jumbo-Visma team car that had braked suddenly to miss a faller.The race is known as 'the Hell of the North' due to its 29 body battering cobbled sections, some 54km of the 257km race, which are even given star ratings of one-to-five for their difficulty and danger.
