John Degenkolb gets his own Paris-Roubaix cobble sector

Lotto Soudal rider John Degenkolb will be the first active rider having a Paris-Roubaix cobblestones sector that will bear his name. Next Monday, 10 February, John Degenkolb will be present on the famous section “D130 Château d'eau 59171 Erre”, for the official inauguration.

Degenkolb is the winner of the 2015 Paris-Roubaix as well as the winner of the Tour de France cobbles stage in 2018. The German rider is also a prominent Ambassador of Les Amis du Paris-Roubaix. Last year Degenkolb successfully launched a fundraiser campaign for the preservation of the Paris-Roubaix junior race.

The mayors of Hornaing, Erre and Wandignies-Hamage, together with John Degenkolb, invite you to be present on the cobbles on Monday, 10 February, at 3.30 PM. Thank you for confirming your presence by email (communication@hornaing.fr) and for indicating the name of the person or people who wish to attend the ceremony.
