The Paris – Roubaix 2016 cycle race was the 114th edition of the cycling classic. It was held on Sunday, April 10, 2016 and was the tenth race of the year as part of the UCI WorldTour .
The route from Paris – Roubaix 2016 was 257.5 kilometers long. The race did not start in Paris , as its name suggests , but in Compiègne, 80 kilometers to the north . After a short neutralized section, the race began with the so-called "sharp start" in Clairoix .
The first 98.5 kilometers were rather flat before the riders hit a total of 27 Pavé sectors , the toughest of which are the routes through the Trouée d'Arenberg (18), Mons-en-Pévèle (10), Carrefour de l ' Arbre (4) and a new section this year from Capelle to Ruesnes . The last 750 meters of the race were driven on the Roubaix Velodrome. The winner Mathew Hayman crossed the finish line in the velodrome after just under six hours.
