Sit comfortably for the Paris-Roubaix, because the riders certainly can’t. 30 backside-jangling cobbled sections totaling 50km lend this infamous Monument its cheery nickname, “The Hell of the North”, and we’re really being spoiled because back-to-back reigning champion Mathieu van der Poel and debutant Tadej Pogačar are set to do battle once again.
Read on and we’ll show you how to watch Paris-Roubaix 2025 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for free.
Pogačar denied van der Poel a slice of history at the Tour of Flanders last weekend (after the Dutchman bested the Slovenian at the Milan-San Remo a fortnight previously), so with van der Poel aiming to become the first rider to win three editions of the Paris-Roubaix in a row since Francesco Moser in 1980, losing this would hurt.
Twelve months ago, van der Poel set the fastest average speed on record to win the race by 180 seconds, the largest winning margin since 2002, but three-time Tour de France winner Pogačar is no ordinary debutant.
Don’t discount Mads Pedersen or Wout van Aert either, especially as horrendously-timed punctures and mechanical issues are par for this wildly jagged course.
