Some bike races can come and go, but Paris-Roubaix 2024, known to cycling fans as the "Queen of the Classics," requires full attention from start to finish

Since you never know what might happen on the dreaded cobblestone roads of Northern France, here's how to watch the Paris-Roubaix 2024 live stream from anywhere using a VPN

This year, race organizers have added two more sectors of the hellish cobblestones that have made Paris-Roubaix famous The total distance of the cobblestones will be 557 km, divided into 29 sectors counting down to the famous Roubaix velodrome

Starting from Compiègne, the race is 2599 km long, but the cobblestone sections are particularly important, with five-star sections such as Mont-en-Peverel (11th), Carrefour de l'Arbre (3rd), and Toruet d'Arenberg (19th), where all the favorites for the win will be looking to take the lead!

Last year's race was the first of many

Last year's champion Mathieu Van de Pol (Alpecin-Desseuninck) returns to try to double up, but with Wout Van Aert (Team Visma | Lease-a-Bike) crashing last Wednesday and breaking multiple bones, he has no rival the role of second favorite will be taken by Ghent-Wevelgem winner Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek)
