Startlist Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2026 | Riders: Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, Lotte Kopecky, Lorena Wiebes, Marianne Vos and more

Paris-Roubaix Femmes returns on 12 April 2026, with the women’s peloton once again tackling the cobbles on the road to the iconic Roubaix Velodrome. This page is your place to find the full startlist for the 2026 edition, with the line-up currently preliminary and subject to change ahead of race day.

Despite being a relatively new addition to the calendar, Paris-Roubaix Femmes has already built a reputation for unpredictability and brutality in equal measure. No rider has yet managed to win the race twice, underlining just how difficult it is to control on the cobbles.

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot claimed victory in 2025 with a decisive solo move, adding her name to a winners list that also includes Lotte Kopecky (2024), Alison Jackson (2023), Elisa Longo Borghini (2022) and Lizzie Deignan, who won the inaugural edition in 2021 after a long-range attack in wet and chaotic conditions. The pattern is clear: whether through solo strength or race-day chaos, Roubaix continues to reward riders willing to commit early and endure.

The 2026 startlist is packed with quality, with several of the sport’s biggest Classics specialists and fastest finishers all set to line up. Defending champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot returns looking to make history as the first repeat winner, while Lotte Kopecky leads a powerful challenge and remains one of the most complete riders in the field.

Alongside her, Lorena Wiebes offers a devastating sprint option if she can survive the cobbles, with Elisa Balsamo another rider capable of winning from a reduced group. Experience and race craft come in the form of Marianne Vos, while former winner Alison Jackson returns as a proven Roubaix specialist who thrives in chaotic editions of the race.

Elsewhere, Lucinda Brand brings power and cobbled pedigree, Letizia Borghesi has already shown she can reach the podium here, and Chloe Dygert represents a major long-range threat if the race opens up early.

Rising talent is also well represented, with Zoe Backstedt among the riders to watch on terrain that suits her skillset, while a strong supporting cast across multiple teams ensures the race is unlikely to be controlled by any one squad.
