Paris-Roubaix Femmes may only be four years old but given the enormity and history of the men's race, it has instantly made itself one of the biggest fixtures on the women's calendar, and the 2025 edition today is set to be a cracker.
World champion Lotte Kopecky is out to defend her title, but she'll be up against a strong list of contenders that includes the Visma-Lease a Bike duo of Marianne Vos – the most successful rider in the sport's history – and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot – the Frenchwoman who has a wealth of off-road experience.
The race route is 148.5 kiometres long, starting in Denain and covering 17 cobblestone sectors – including the five-star Mons-en-Pévèle and Carrefour de l'Arbre – before finishing in the iconic Roubaix velodrome.
