Welcome to our live coverage of the 2025 Paris-Roubaix Femmes. Now in its fifth edition, the race has already carved out a distinct identity in the women’s calendar—flat, fast and built around the cobbles that define this part of northern France. From the start in Denain to the finish inside the Roubaix velodrome, the riders will face 17 sectors of pavé across 148.5 kilometres, including the brutal stretches at Mons-en-Pévèle and Carrefour de l’Arbre.
Today’s conditions look set to make this one of the faster editions we’ve seen. With dry roads and a southerly tailwind over much of the course, the cobbles are expected to be dusty and quick. It’s a far cry from the mud and chaos of 2021 or 2023 (less mud, more chaos), and that should shape how the race unfolds. Fewer mechanicals and crashes might mean more teams can keep their leaders in contention deep into the final hour.
Kopecky and Wiebes are neck and neck as race favourites, with Elisa Balsamo, Marianne Vos, Ellen van Dijk and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot set to contest the podium.
