Paris-Roubaix will embark on its 122nd edition held on April 13, 2025. The peloton will have completed the famed Belgian Spring Classics before venturing over the border to France for the third Monument of the season, after Milan-San Remo and Tour of Flanders, at Paris-Roubaix.
Last year, Mathieu van der Poel dominated the 2024 Paris-Roubaix with a 60km solo attack to win the fastest-ever edition of the Hell of the North. Van der Poel rounded the Roubaix velodrome in front of massive crowds, taking his time to enjoy his second consecutive victory of the famed cobbled Classic.
Paris-Roubaix history
Often described as the Queen of the Classics or the Hell of the North, Paris-Roubaix is the third Monument of the cycling season and arguably the most recognisable event in the sport after the Tour de France. The race dates back to 1896 and has taken place 120 times since then.
Compiègne – around 80km outside of Paris – has hosted the race start since 1977, while Paris played host from the very start up to 1967.
Belgians have dominated the cobbled Classic, with 57 winners over the years.
Two Belgians share the accolade of taking the most wins at the race, with Roger De Vlaeminck winning four times in the 1970s and Tom Boonen completing his quadruple between 2005 and 2012.
As you'd expect, the honour roll is replete with huge names from cycling history, from Eddy Merckx and Sean Kelly to Johan Museeuw and Fausto Coppi. Of the current peloton, no rider has won the race more than once.
