Geraint Thomas is back to Spring classics racing on the cobbles at the 2018 Paris – Roubaix. The Welsh missed the last couple of editions of the Hell of the North because he was focused on his main objective: stage races. Team Sky lieutenant finished in seventh four years ago on the finish line in the Vélodrome André Petrieux but it cannot be determined what he can target four years apart. For sure he is taking part to Paris – Roubaix with a view to Tour de France terrific stage 9 on the cobbles, which is a crucial point of the next Grande Boucle.
