In the final instalment of Live at the Classics, Rouleur’s Rachel Jary and Chris Marshall-Bell bring you all of the stories from inside the fabled Roubaix velodrome. They heard about mechanicals, wrong turns, saw more bloodied knees and blistered palms than they’d care to remember and Chris even got to ring the famous Roubaix lap bell. This was the view from cycling’s greatest stadium over the Hell of the North weekend.
