Tour Of Flanders and Paris Roubaix

Hello

Tyring to plan my rides next year. Can someone confirm to me the dates for these sportives next year. As far as I can make out Tour of Flanders race is on 1st April and the sportive is normally on the day before.

However Paris Roubaix is a week later on the 8th yet the sportive is listed as on the 1st of April?

I think the official sportives are on consecutive days.

So you can ride Flanders on the Saturday, Roubaix on the Sunday, if your quick enough you can drive back to Flanders and watch the finish!

What a weekend!

Well I'm beginning to think it might have to be an epic weekend. Fortunately not to far to drive Friday but Sun back will be horrible. All good training for the rest of the year.

Don't understand why it's not the day before the real Paris-Roubaix like last year (something to do with the shambles at the last minute last year I guess)

The established P-Rx event is run by VC Roubaix and is in June and only runs every 2 years, not the sham event run by ASO.
