Paris-Roubaix Bicycle Race Interrupted By High Speed Train

The Paris-Roubaix is an annual bicycle race in France and one of cycling’s oldest races. The 2015 Paris-Roubaix was held on Sunday. The race runs from Northern France to near the Belgian border, so you won’t be surprised to learn that the cyclists have to cross over train tracks at some point. We know this because half the cyclists had to stop at a railroad crossing during the race as a high speed train approached.

Some riders continued through the crossing after the arms were lowered and the train company wants police to take action against those cyclists.
