Paris Roubaix Femmes is one of the toughest one-day races in women's cycling, thanks to its iconic cobbled sections. Here are the key sections to watch out for in this year's race.

In recent years, there has been a growing push for greater equity in the sport of cycling, particularly for women. In response, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) launched the Women's WorldTour in 2016, a series of races designed to showcase the best female cyclists in the world. Since then, the Women's WorldTour has grown in both popularity and prestige, and has become a major force for revolutionizing women's cycling.

It's a short history for the Paris Roubaix Femmes as the race has only been held since 2021. Originally earmarked for 2020, that edition to be held in the Autumn was postponed as the pandemic took hold again. Eventually moved into 2021, the first year saw a long-range move from Lizzie Deignan who attacked before the cobbles started to ensure a strong lead position on the very muddy cobbled sectors that year.
