Hagens Berman-Jayco lines up as the only North American team among a field of 22 at Paris-Roubaix Espoirs this Sunday. Junior track standout Ben Wiggins will be part of the seven-rider roster and ride the famous cobbled course for a second time, having competed last year in the junior event for Team Great Britain. 

The son of Bradley Wiggins is looking to make his own name riding his first season on the US-based Continental programme run by Axel Merckx. He competed in two events in Greece to start the season and next takes on the under-23 Hell of the North, a race in its 57th edition and three times the age of Wiggins.
