Yes, we know that the men's and inaugural women's Paris-Roubaix has been postponed until October but that doesn't mean we cannot do some reminiscing about the greatest race in the cycling calendar right now.

After all, with the race not taking place on April 11th like scheduled, what else do you expect us to do to fill the void?

We called upon friends of the podcast, including Greg LeMond, Sean Kelly, Magnus Backstedt and more, to tell us their most memorable moments from the Hell of the North. Learn how LeMond guided Hinault to victory, why five crashes reduced Kelly to tears and what it's really like to race a wet Roubaix with Rob Hayles.
