The 2017 Paris–Roubaix was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 9 April 2017. It was the 115th edition of the Paris–Roubaix and was the fifteenth event of the 2017 UCI World Tour.[1][2]

It was won by Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team) in a five-man sprint – for his first Monument classic victory – ahead of Quick-Step Floors rider Zdeněk Štybar and Sebastian Langeveld of Cannondale–Drapac.[3] The average speed of 45.2 km/h was a record.

Teams

As Paris-Roubaix is a UCI World Tour event, all 18 UCI World Teams were invited automatically and were obliged to send a squad.[4] In February 2017, the race organisers announced the seven UCI Professional Continental teams that had received wildcard invitations, completing the 25-team peloton.[5]
