The 30 cobbled sectors of Paris-Roubaix 2025: The keys to the Hell of the North in detail
CyclingTuesday, 08 April 2025 at 14:00
Paris-Roubaix is one of those few races left on the calendar where an outsider can surprise from afar and end up winning due to its completely different nature from other one-day races. We take a look at every single one of the 30 cobbled sectors and their details.
The 2025 edition, Tadej Pogacar's debut, will feature the usual 30 pavé sectors starting with the iconic Troisvilles-Inchy at kilometer 96.3 of difficulty 3 (1 star easy, 2 stars mostly easy, 3 stars difficult, 4 stars very difficult and 5 stars extremely difficult).
From there to the finish 163 kilometers later (the race has 259 kilometers between Compaigne and the Roubaix velodrome). The first 4-star sector will take place on the Quiévy - Saint-Python at 154.3 from the finish and the key moment of the Trouée d'Arenberg, the first 5-star, will be ridden at 95 km from the finish.
Mons en Pévèle, the longest of the 5 stars with a length of 3 kilometers, will start 48.6 km from the finish. The last decisive moment will take place 17.2 km from the finish (the emblematic Carrefour de l'Arbre with 2.1 km that will break everything considering that before comes almost spliced the Camphin-en-Pévèle of 4 stars and almost 2 km).

- Against Pogi, never for both. He was not able to win Flanders which was supposed to be his terrain.abstractengineer23-04-2025
- No, that is fine. Where we need to draw the line is on doping, then lying about it, and ruining people's lives. A little bit of assassinating never hurt anyone.
Barney23-04-2025 - Well as Dirty Harry said once "a man's got to know his own limitations".
MrCampy23-04-2025 - I don’t think that, even at his current level he’s going to be a better domestique than almost any other. Paradoxically, he may even turn out to be more useful if not in top form because then he might not waste as much team energy on personal goals.Mistermaumau23-04-2025
- No doubt he’d have found a mixer for his cocktail to take care of that ;-)Mistermaumau23-04-2025
- Huge loss for Jonas if he can't get his form by July
Front24223-04-2025 - Armstrong would be considered fat in today's world of gc contendersFront24223-04-2025
- No, he has someone who does that for him and selects interesting relevant stuff, and I doubt ANY of the stuff here makes the grade :-)Mistermaumau23-04-2025
- That’s more or less how I see it too. A guy who can win short cyclocrosses, long classics, comes close on some stage races, keeps up with some of the best on moderate climbs and outpowers everyone on steep short ones will have a pretty good reserve for adaptation and specialisation. He already achieved 3rd on LBL after a crash and when not in the best of form without having targeted it specifically, he is CAPABLE of much more than we’ve seen so far.Mistermaumau23-04-2025
- There’s this guy who won the Tour once and has been on GT podiums quite often, similar stature but almost a decade older. Got pretty good at climbing even though he started lufe on the track and was more a TT type. I’ll let you guess and develop your argument (they help to validate or convince of simplistic statements) as to what is or isn’t possible given desire, time and willpower, all things MVDP will have for the time it may take until this becomes a goal for him, so, I say, if he DECIDES to put his mind to it, there are chances he COULD pull it off. Skjelmose beating Tadej last week was also considered incredibly unlikely, until it happened, and only when it did did people start thinking how that was possible and coming up with all sorts of reasons and arguments they didn’t want to accept and even ridiculed in advance.Jumpyjohn23-04-2025
