L'enfer du Nord (The Hell of the North), returns this weekend to its familiar April setting. Paris-Roubaix is the cobbliest, most-storied and, in the minds and behinds of many, widely regarded as the most brutal of the Classics thanks to its extensive sapping cobbled sections. The race is the third monument of the men's 2022 season following Milan-Sanremo and Tour of Flanders. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Paris-Roubaix live stream online today from anywhere.

Tom Dumoulin, Tiesj Benoot, and Christophe Laporte meanwhile round out an impressive looking Jumbo-Visma line up that will be expecting a strong showing on Saturday.
