The women's Paris–Roubaix (French: Paris–Roubaix Femmes) is the women's edition of Paris–Roubaix, an annual road bicycle racing event in northern France.

History

The first race

The announcement of the inaugural women's edition of Paris-Roubaix came as a surprise addition to the revised 2020 UCI Women's World Tour calendar.[1] The race was scheduled for 25 October 2020, but was cancelled again due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The first running of the women's Paris-Roubaix took place in 2021.[3] It was first scheduled on 11 April, but later rescheduled for 2 October (one day before the men's race), again due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

'The Queen has a queen'

The much delayed, and much anticipated, first edition of the women's version of the 'Queen of the Classics' was won by Great Britain's Lizzie Deignan racing for Trek. Attacking on her own at the first pavé section at Hornaing Deignan went clear across the first cobbled section, and then soloed for the last 80 kilometres of the race, across all 17 pavé sections, entering the velodrome at Roubaix alone, over a minute in front of Marianne Vos . Elisa Longo Borghini held off a fast closing Lisa Brennauer for third place, and completed the first podium of Paris-Roubaix-Femmes. Deignan's attack and solo victory was described by commentators as one of the greatest Roubaix rides of all time[4][5]

Route

The first women's edition of Paris-Roubaix will start in Denain and finish on the velodrome in Roubaix covering 116 km (72 mi).[6] It will feature 29.2 km (18.1 mi) of cobblestones, spread out over 17 sectors. The women will cover the same final 17 sectors as the men's race.[7]
