Bytagthe publication "Paris-Roubaix 2025: the route, the notes of the 30 cobbled sectors, the list of riders entered and the TV broadcast times of the 122nd edition"
Paris-Roubaix 2025 takes place on Sunday, April 12, between Compiègne in Oise and Roubaix in the North. With a total distance of 260 km, the Hell of the North offers 30 cobbled sectors (55,3 km) to tackle over the last 166 kilometers, whose difficulty levels vary between one star (easy) and five stars (extremely difficult). Double title holder of the “pavement” (2023 and 2024), the Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel, magnificent winner of Milan-San Remo on March 22, and Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, winner of the Tour of Flanders on April 6 a week ago, are the overwhelming favorites for the race. A sort of "belle" between these two monsters (Pogacar finished 3rd in San Remo and Van der Poel 3rd in Flanders) which promises to be grandiose. Even if it is a first for the Slovenian in Roubaix, no one doubts his ability to influence the race, surprise and play for the final victory. It's even what everyone is waiting for! Behind them are the Dane Mads Pedersen (winner of his 3rd Ghent-Wevelgem after a 56 km solo breakaway on March 30 and 2nd in Flanders) as well as the Belgian Wout van Aert, author of a very solid race in the Ronde (4th). Unless the tricky cobblestones hold enough surprises and twists to shake things up and crown another contender? On the cobbled sections, nothing can be predicted in advance. To follow the race, find the detailed map of the route, the list and notes of the 30 cobbled sectors, the teams and riders entered as well as the live TV broadcast times of this 122nd edition..
