Walscheid looking forward to Paris-Roubaix after Scheldeprijs podium

After starting his Classics season with a crash, Max Walscheid is hoping to end it with a bang of a different kind at this weekend's Paris-Roubaix. The Team Sunweb rider showed that he is back on the right path after his fall three weeks ago in Nokere Koerse with second place on Wednesday at Scheldeprijs, and he is excited about his return to the Hell of the North.

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.
