Good morning and welcome to live coverage of the 115th edition of Paris-Roubaix: the Hell of the North, the Queen of the Classics, the brutal dusty/muddy one with the cobbles where everyone falls off or collides with spectators... call it what you want, this is the big one, and the third monument of the season.

What a win for Greg van Avermaet, who had to overcome a crash and a bike-change to take his first ever win in one of cycling's monuments.

There was confusion there as Moscon and Stuyven returned into the fray - although Moscon opened up the sprint many weren't sure if they were a lap behind or not. In the end, it didn't matter with the podium places going to those three men who entered the velodrome first. Stybar slammed the bars as he crossed the line - he could have become the first rider from the Czech Republic to win a monument...

Stybar comes through on the home straight but it's Greg van Avermaet who surges through and takes that elusive win in a monument!

The gap is still 40 seconds as they roll down the tree-lined esplanade ahead of the velodrome.

The calm before the storm... not long until they'll see the velodrome ahead... GVA takes a final drink before throwing away his bidon. They're all waterbottle-less now ahead of teh expected fast finish.

ATTACK: After chatting on his team radio, Stybar puts in a huge attack on a slight uphill rise. GVA follows but Langeveld is distanced. But it them comes back together... they're starting to play games.

Just five clicks to go now for these three leaders... it's a quality trio and we're up for a thrilling finale. You have to fancy Stybar or GVA, but you never know...

We're not getting any images from the chasers so we don't know if the Boonen group has caught the likes of Moscon and Stuyven yet...

If Stybar wins for Quick-Step Floors then he will keep the sequence going of 12 different rider from different nationalities winning the last 12 monuments. To be fair, none of these riders has ever won a monument before - but we have had Dutch and Belgium winners within that sequence.

Should Langeveld win it will be Cannondale's first WorldTour win since Davide Formolo in the 2015 Giro d'Italia...

Stybar hasn't been doing any turns because he has Boonen behind. It's van Avermaet and Langeveld who are doing all of the work. This is a huge ride for GVA, who had that crash earlier in the race. Could he finally get his first monument win at the 36th attempt?

Just the two sectors to go now and three men out ahead: Greg van Avermaet 9BMC), Sebastien Langeveld (Cannondale-Drapac) and Zdenek Stybar (Quick-Step Floors). They have 45 seconds on the Boonen fairytale-finish group.
