Hello, I will be in Belgium for a time during the famous Paris-Roubaix bike race, and I would love to catch a part of it somewhere along the route. I would most likely take the train from Brussels or Antwerp to that region of France, but I'm not sure where to stop for the race for the best experience. Has anyone done this before and have any tips or suggestions? Thank you!

Watching a point to point race is a blur other than festivities before and after the peloton. I would imagine that the cobbles in the rain would be a classic experience. Try doing an Internet/Google search for "watching paris roubaix".
