The 2018 Paris-Roubaix winner Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) will compete in this Sunday's edition of the race aboard the new Specialized Roubaix, which was launched earlier this week.
The three-time road race world champion looks to be running a mechanical Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 series groupset, which is occasionally used by professionals on the cobbles and will be on the Sagan Collection version of the frameset.
Specialized's new Roubaix features an updated Future Shock front suspension system alongside a new, flexible carbon seat post. You can see the full details of the new bike here.

Sagan runs his usual choice of Roval CLX 50 wheels, but pairs them with Specialized's S-Works Turbo Hell of the North 30mm tubular tyres to cope with the brutal cobbles of the race, as opposed to the usual 26mm tyres used for regular road racing.
The new Specialized Roubaix has a port located at the top of the down tube, which can be used as the Di2 interface port with an electronic Shimano groupset. When built up with a mechanical drivetrain, the port can be swapped out for a cable guide, allowing the gear cables to be routed internally down through the frame.
Sagan usually runs Di2 satellite sprint shifters on his handlebar drops, but, due to his choice of a mechanical groupset, this is obviously not an option and will mean that shifting while on the handlebar tops over the cobbles will be more difficult.
