I want to go and watch Paris-Roubaix this year. Can anyone tell me if the race follows the same route every year? I'd like to see it in two places, maybe half way and again near the end, depending on the route.

Wiki has this page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris-Roubaix which includes a table of the later sections.

thanks for any help.

    Arenberg,(90 k's to go) Hornaing,Warlaing to the feed just before Orchies is pretty normal these days.
    After which there can be variations in the Pont-a-Marcq (approx 40 k's to go) area but after Cysoing (25) it has been the same for many years.
    By car you will get bogged in and not see much unless you have a bike on board then you should get at least 6 sightings,but where the hell is a TV?????

    Good Luck and if you try a sportive then tighten everything as some cobbled tracks (pave) are very very rough and you hav'nt lived till you ride them. Ha Ha
    I did it a couple of times ( 1 in pouring rain) before TV and Saturday crowds and clear and barren and just ourselves to sort the punctures. Ha Ha Ha.
