Kristoff confident after Paris-Roubaix recon

There’s no time like the present and just one day after taking his victory in Scheldeprijs, Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) was back on the bike as he reconnoitred the Paris-Roubaix route with his teammates. After a stunning run of form that’s seen him win some six races in less than two weeks, he’s feeling the hurt but he is confident that he will be ready for Sunday.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
