PREVIEW | Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2024 - Battle of legends as Lotte Kopecky and Marianne Vos face off at Hell of the North

On the 6th of April the women's peloton takes on one of it's toughest races. The recently-created Paris-Roubaix Femmes has proved to be a great success and this year it should provide a lot of emotion and action once again. We preview the race ahead.

The race features 148.5 kilometers, relatively long however it will be a fast race as it features no climbing whatsoever. The start takes place in Denain and after a small loop, the riders then take on the course of the men's event for the final 80 kilometers.

Here, the riders will face 29.2 kilometers of cobbled roads, split between 17 separate sectors. It is a very dense amount of difficult roads where differences will be made. This will include the Mons-en-Pévèle and Carrefour de l'Arbre, two five-star sectors. The finale will take place in the famous Roubaix velodrome.
