Remco Evenepoel will not be take part in Paris-Roubaix for the first time in his career next Sunday, according to widespread reports in Belgian media, despite taking third in his stunning debut at the Tour of Flanders.
Speculation had been very high that Evenepoel could add the Hell of the North to his programme, as he had toyed with the idea to some length in post-race interviews, and had a last-minute 'change of heart' regarding Flanders - where for months he had said he was not racing before revealing the truth just five days before Belgium's biggest bike race.
