Tour of Flanders: Mathieu van der Poel makes it a hattrick

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) took his record-tying third Tour of Flanders title in a dominant ride on a rain-soaked day in Belgium.

The Dutch rider was flawless on the Koppenberg with 46km to go when most riders were forced to get off their bikes and walk to the fearsome climb. From that point, Van der Poel did not look back and clinched his third win solo with enough of a gap to get off his bike and hoist it into the air to celebrate his triumph.

From the Koppenberg until the finish, it was a battle for seconds amongst the remaining peloton behind. Dylan Teuns (Israel-Premier Tech) and Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost) mounted a spirited rider for the remaining podium places, but the two riders were brought back in the final hundred metres by a strong group of nine. In the end, Luca Mozzato (Arkeá-B&B) finished second and Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates) finished third after Michael Matthews (Jayco AlUla) was relegated for a sprint deviation.

Tour of Flanders 2024 overview

The Tour of Flanders will run on Sunday, 31 March and marks the crown jewel of the Belgian Classics and one of the most important race days in cycling.

The Ronde van Vlaanderen, or simply De Ronde as it is called in Flanders, is known for its cobbled climbs and for the rabid atmosphere that comes from the hundreds of thousands of Belgian fans that make their way to the side of the road for the biggest Sunday in Belgium’s sporting calendar.

The Tour of Flanders is the second of cycling’s five Monuments and has been run for over a hundred years, with the only interruption coming during World War I. Not even World War II could stop De Ronde from crowing a winner as the race has endured in the memory of cycling fans since it began in 1913.

While last year’s winner Tadej Pogačar will be at an altitude camp rather than defending his crown in Flanders - as he prepares for his attempt at the Giro-Tour double this summer - the startlist will be stacked with some of cycling’s biggest names regardless.

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) looks to add his name to the rare three-time winners club, while his victor from last week’s Gent-Wevelgem, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), is in search of his first Monument win. They will square off against the strength of Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost), Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) and Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) among many others who will have had the Tour of Flanders circled on their calendar since last November.

Tour of Flanders 2024 route: the pinnacle of the Belgian Classics

The route of the Tour of Flanders changes often, however, the ending generally has stayed the same as the race has found its formula with the shift to the Oudenaarde finish in 2012.

The 271km race, starting in Antwerp and ending in Oudenaarde, has only 2,172 metres but the riders feel every one of those metres as the climbs are all packed in the back half of the race and many of them are accompanied by tough cobblestones. In total, there are 16 cobblestone sectors and 17 climbs.

While the action comes thick and fast at the end of the race, the parcours takes its time getting to the action with the first climb of the Oude Kwaremont coming after 135km of racing. The long, flat prelude to the climbs provides a big opportunity for domestiques and opportunists to get up the road early, ahead of the action. While the breakaway will undoubtedly be brought back by the favourites towards the end of the race, it is not uncommon for riders in the early breakaway to hang around and play some type of role in the finale.

After the preamble, the race begins the climbs and doesn’t return to flat roads until the final 11km flat run to the line once all the climbs and cobbles are done and dusted. From the first climb up the Oude Kwaremont through the finish, the race packs in all 16 of the climbs into 137km. The first ride up the Kwaremont is followed by the first lap around the Flemish Ardense and climbs like the Kappelberg, Wolvenberg, Molenberg, Bendries, Valkenberg and Berg Ten Haut before the race returns to the base of the Oude Kwaremont for the crucial second lap around the most famous climbs of Flanders.

The second of three times of asking on the Oude Kwaremont comes with 57km to go before it is followed by the first ascent of the Paterberg, the Koppenberg, Steenbeekdries, Taaienberg and Kruisberg which mark the start of the crucial endgame at the Tour of Flanders. The Koppenberg, Taaienberg and Kruisberg especially are the climbs where the race will often kick off as the big contenders begin to manoeuvre before the final few climbs.

All of this leads to the final crescendo of the final two climbs of the day which will ultimately decide the result of the stage. The Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg combo comes in the final 20km and sets the table for the final attacks before the flat run to the finish. The two final climbs have shown to be selective enough with six solo winners and a four-up sprint being the biggest group to contest for the win at the new finishing circuit.

What happened at the Tour of Flanders 2023?

Tadej Pogačar stormed to victory in the 2023 Tour of Flanders after an attacking ride saw him dispense Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel from his wheel after a long battle that saw the trio start the crux of the race on the back foot before they worked their way through the early attackers until it was just Pogačar and Van der Poel racing to the finish in a one-on-one drag race along the flat run to Oudenaard. The two matched each other the whole day with Van der Poel only trailing the Slovenian of the Oude Kwaremont the last time of asking. Mads Pedersen won the sprint from the select group of seven behind.

Tour of Flanders history

While the Tour of Flanders might not be the longest, the oldest, the hilliest or the roughest of the Monuments, it is Belgium’s biggest race and perhaps the race that is the hardest to win. Even the specialists who have dedicated their careers to the Classics have found it a difficult crown to take, as the likes of Roger De Vlaeminck and Peter Sagan only took one win each at the race. Famously, Sean Kelly never managed to win the race, even though he won all of the other monuments and countless other Classics. Flanders, in all its challenges, was his white whale.

Recently, Flanders have been defined by a couple of true rivalries. In the 2000s and first half of the 2010’s the race was dominated by Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara. The two Classics stars traded blows in all of the Classics, but Flanders was where they seemed to trade wins. All said and done, the two riders accounted for six victories out of ten editions from 2005 to 2014.

While Boonen and Cancellara are now out of the picture, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel have taken on the role of central casting at Flanders in the 2020s. While one Tadej Pogačar has interrupted that rivalry on a few occasions, Van Aert and Van der Poel have been consistent as the furniture for the past few years at Flanders and are likely to continue turning up the race for the foreseeable future.

The Tour of Flanders brings the northern monuments to warp speed Sunday with arguably the greatest one-day race of the season.

Mathieu van der Poel and Lotte Kopecky line up in the rainbow bands as the five-star favorites in what will set the tone for two spectacular races.

Perhaps only Paris-Roubaix can surpass De Ronde for pure racing action, ultra-prestige, and high-level competition.

This year’s editions saw some late-hour drama, especially on the men’s side, with Wout van Aert set to miss the big date. On the women’s side, the unfolding contract talks about the future of Demi Vollering could play out on the roads this weekend.

Date : Sunday, March 31, 2024 Editions: 108th men, 21st women Start : Antwerp (men), Oudenaarde (women) Finish : Oudenaarde, both races Distance : 270.8km (men), 163km (women) Weather : 7C for start, 17C for finish. Slight chance of showers in morning, otherwise mostly cloudy. Easterly, southeasterly winds, 7 to 19km/h, with gusts up to 40km/h. Defending champions : Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime)

TV listings: Plenty of options

USA : FloBikes will livestream the Tour of Flanders via its app for paid subscribers. Coverage starts for the men’s race at 03h55 EST and the women’s race at 09h00 EST.

Europe : Eurosport and Discovery+ will broadcast De Ronde via its app for paid subscribers. Some European nations will also pick up the broadcast, including RTBF, NOS, and RAI, and others.

Australia : SBS will be covering both the women’s and men’s races. Check local listings for times.

Favorites men’s race: No Wout, no Pogačar

Two big names are missing, and their collective absences will mark the outcome of the race.

Van Aert crashed so heavily at Wednesday’s Dwars door Vlaanderen that the Belgian superstar saw his entire spring campaign, including Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, and Amstel Gold, over in an instant.

Other injuries and illness on the super squad could see Matteo Jorgenson, already on a hot streak this spring, emerging as the leader at Visma-Lease a Bike.

The other missing star is defending champion Tadej Pogačar, who is bypassing Flanders altogether. After ripping across the Volta a Catalunya , he races next at Liège-Bastogne-Liège before heading to the Giro d’Italia.

That puts Van der Poel, already on a tear so far in 2024, firmly in the driver’s seat as the five-star favorite.

The reigning world champion can also match a record. A third win would put him on the same number of wins as Buysse, Magni, Leman, Museeuw, Boonen, and Cancellara.

Right behind him will be banged up Mads Pedersen. The big Dane also crashed Wednesday, but wasn’t nearly as bad as his teammate Jasper Stuyven, who’s out with a broke clavicle.

Other big names include Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ), Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious), Alberto Bettiol (EF Education – EasyPost), Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates), Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X Mobility), and Matteo Trentin (Tudor Pro Cycling Team).

Who will win? Without Van Aert or Pogačar to complicate things, Van der Poel is the odds-on favorite.

Top-10 in 2023

Favorites women’s race: SD Worx the favorites

Lotte Kopecky currently shares the record of most wins in Flanders’ Finest with Mirjam Melchers-Van Poppel, Judith Arndt, and Annemiek van Vleuten

Joining Kopecky in Team SD Worx-Protime in Oudenaarde will be Marlen Reusser, Demi Vollering, and Lorena Wiebes, by far the deepest and strongest team in the race.

Lidl-Trek will be banging on the door, with Elisa Longo Borghini, Elisa Balsamo, Lizzie Deignan and Shirin Van Anrooij.

Marianne Vos is hot off a win at Dwars, with Canyon/SRAM Racing lining up with Katia Niewiadoma and Chloé Dygert bringing on the heat .

Kopecky has nearly been perfect so far this spring, and will be hard to beat.

A few key course changes for safety

There are a few significant changes for both courses.

After starting in Bruges last year, Antwerp will host the rollout Sunday, and the bunch will plow south straight toward the Flemish Ardennes. The finish of both races remains on the Minderbroedersstraat in Oudenaarde.

The modern classic finales of the Paterberg-Oude Kwaremont combo remains unchanged for both the men’s and women’s races, but there are a few tweaks for safety reasons, with wider and faster roads.

“The changes in the first 100 km are safety-related choices. We have been looking even further for wide roads so that the peloton has more space in which to build up speed,” said race director Scott Sunderland. “The edition from Bruges, where we carried out a similar exercise for the opening hours of the race, showed how these wide roads led to high averages in the opening hours. That speed ultimately helped to determine the shape of the race and the strategic choices of the teams.”

As everyone saw with the tragic consequences in the men’s Dwars door Vlaanderen , the Kanarieberg and Kortekeer have been removed from the route.

“On the way to Kortekeer, the speed is high and the pressure within the peloton is very high,” Sunderland said. “But then we have also seen in the past two years that a few teams decide to quietly ride up the Kortekeer. The question then is: why should we want such a narrow climb on the course so early in the race? Isn’t it better to take out the Kortekeer and keep the race open?”

The organization also took out the Kanarieberg and the high-speed approach that provoked the horrific crash Wednesday that took down Van Aert and a host of others.

“There is a direction along which we have to go to the Kanarieberg. That goes downhill and the peloton reaches a speed of 90 km/h. Whereupon the road narrows from three lanes to one,” he said. “When you talk about safety, you have to look at it seriously.

“We have analyzed the editions of recent years. We looked at whether someone who attacked on the Kanarieberg or the Kortekeer ever stayed ahead. So no one.”

The race really starts to kick off at the Koppenberg, about 45km from the finish.

Unlike in previous years, the men and women will be taking the same route to the Bult van Melden this year.

“We have opted to change the approach for the men and to make it the same as the one for the women,” Sunderland said. “A choice for equality, but above all for reasons of safety. To be specific, this change means that after the first climb of the Paterberg, the riders will cycle on roads where it is easier to keep track of things. We are making the approach to the Koppenberg more straightforward and are taking out the descent and sharp bend just before the climb.”

With this change, the cars in the women’s race can follow the same detour as for the men’s race and team leaders can assist their riders all the way to the foot of the Koppenberg. With this change, the organization is eliminating a few points where the race had threatened to stall in recent years, something that caused a race stoppage in Wednesday’s Dwars race for the women.

“These situations were becoming too dangerous,” Sunderland said. “Safety is our highest priority. Furthermore, we also want to adapt our course to the way in which the peloton races. We want to anticipate and continue to develop the Tour to better serve the riders. And that is what we are doing with this change, but it does mean that both the Kortekeer and the Kanarieberg will not be included in the course this year. But we are adding the Kapelleberg.”

Americans in Flanders: A rare presence

Here’s a good trivia question for your next group ride: name the only U.S. rider to win the Tour of Flanders.

The answer is only one: Coryn Labecki in 2017, when she out-kicked Gracie Elvin and Chantal Van den Broek-Blaak in a reduced bunch sprint with Team DSM.

Kristin Armstrong was twice second (2008 and 2012) as the only other U.S. women to hit the prestigious podium.

On the men’s side, no American has ever won De Ronde, and George Hincapie finished third in the 2006 edition as the only U.S. men’s podium in race history.

Expected U.S. starters Sunday include Chloé Dygert (Canyon-SRAM), Ruth Edwards and Lily Williams (Human Powered Health), Labecki and Kristin Faulkner (EF Education-Cannondale), and Heidi Franz (Lifeplus Wahoo).

Men’s starters Sunday include Dwars door Vlaanderen winner Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike), Magnus Sheffield (Ineos Grenadiers), and Riley Sheehan (Israel Premier Tech). Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), fifth last year in a breakout ride, is sidelined with injury .

Can one of them break through?

i am really looking forward to the ronde I would really like john Degenkolb to win, I don’t suppose he will, but he is a truly great rider, and missed out on a Roubaix win last year when knocked off his bike by Van der Poel.

Tour of Flanders 2023: Route and start list for the women's race

Everything you need to know ahead of this year's Ronde van Vlaanderen

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The Flemish province of Oudenaarde will welcome its biggest sporting event on 2 April as the Tour of Flanders takes over once again.

The women's race will start and finish in the Belgian city, with the riders setting out on a challenging 158km loop of the local climbs .  

Now in its 20th year, the event brings one of the most demanding courses on the women's WorldTour calendar, punctuated by the iconic ascents of the Oude Kwaremont and the Paterberg, which make up the race finale. 

Below, you'll find full details of the course, as well as a list of the riders who will take the start line.

For more information on how to watch the Tour of Flanders, visit our handy guide . 

Tour of Flanders 2023: route

Heading west out of Oudenaarde, the women's peloton will have just 10km to ready themselves before they face the first of 13 hellingen - short, sharp ascents. 

A period of calm should follow as they head north on a loop through the countryside, before crossing back through Oudenaarde and onto an unrelenting series of climbs; among them, the Koppenberg and Taaienberg, two of the event's most famous cobbled kickers.

With around 17km to go, the race will move into its tried and tested finale. The riders will head up the 2.2km drag of the Oude Kwaremont, before tackling the final climb, the Paterberg, pitched at an eye-watering 13%. 

It was on the latter that Lotte Kopecky broke free last year, together with Annemiek van Vleuten and Marlen Reusser. The Belgian, in her country's national tricolour, went on to sprint to victory on the flat run-in to Oudenaarde, taking her biggest career win to date.

The finale's the same this time round, too, with Kopecky no doubt hoping to repeat her success.

Tour of Flanders live stream 2024: How to watch Flemish cycling, start time

With no Van Aert can anyone challenge Van der Poel?

• Watch for FREE
• Unblock any stream

It's safe to say that for Belgian cycling fans the Tour of Flanders is bigger than Christmas — way bigger. The climax to the Flemish cycling 'holy week' and the second cycling Monument of 2024 will see the worlds best Classics riders cover an epic 271 kilometers between Antwerp and Oudenaarde, taking in no less than 17 brutal cobbled climbs. 

Read on and we'll show you how to watch Tour of Flanders 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN , and potentially for FREE .

Tour of Flanders 2024 live streams take place on Sunday, March 31. ►  Start time: 4.00 a.m. ET / 1.00 a.m. PT / 9.00 a.m. BST / 7.00 p.m. AEDT • FREE STREAMS — SBS (Aus) / Sporza (Bel) / Rai (Italy)  •   U.S. — FloBikes •   U.K. — Discovery+ • Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN

The build up is over and it’s time for the big one, the ‘Ronde van Vlaanderen’. The hype has been growing since opening weekend in late February and has now reached fever pitch with the whole of Belgium buzzing in anticipation. 

Leaving Antwerp, the first half of the race is predominantly flat. Then, after 136 kilometers, the route arrives at the first of three ascents of the Oude Kwaremont and from here on it's brutal. The climbs and cobbled sectors come in rapid succession, each one hitting the riders hard and testing their strength and skill to the absolute limit.

The Koppenberg, the Mariaborrestraat, Steenbeekdries and Stationsberg will lead the riders to the climbs of the Taaienberg and Oude Kruisberg before hitting the Oude Kwaremont for a second time. Then the final combination of the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg coming just 13 kilometers from the finish line is where the killer blows will almost certainly be dealt.

Last year’s winner Tadej Pogačar has decided to skip the race this year so the role of favorite passes over to Mathieu van der Poel who is in scintillating form having destroyed the field to win the E3 Saxo classic and also take second behind Mads Pederson at Gent Wevelgem. It’s Pederson who will lead the challenge against Van der Poel.

The peloton rolled out under clear skies with everyone wondering just how they can stop Van de Poel winning his third edition to equal the record of three victories. 

Read on to see how to catch the action from wherever you live.

Simon Warren has been obsessed with cycling since the summer of 1989 after watching Greg Lemond battle Laurent Fignon in the Tour de France. Although not having what it took to beat the best, he found his forte was racing up hills and so began his fascination with steep roads. This resulted in his 2010’s best-selling  100 Greatest Cycling Climbs , followed to date by 14 more guides to vertical pain. Covering the British Isles, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain he has been riding and racing up hills and mountains for over 30 years now. He hosts talks, guides rides, has written columns for magazines and in 2020 released his first book of cycling routes,  RIDE BRITAIN . Simon splits his time between working as a graphic designer and running  his 100 Climbs brand  and lives in Sheffield on the edge of the Peak District with his wife and two children.

Paris-Roubaix 2024: Mathieu van der Poel retains classic cycling title in style

A blistering attack 60km from the finish saw Mathieu van der Poel make it back-to-back wins in the Paris-Roubaix men's road cycling classic.

The Dutch star, who last weekend claimed a third victory in the Tour of Flanders , surged clear of the lead group at the start of sector 13 -- the sectors count down from 29 to one - of the cobbles.

And the reigning road race world champion was able to avoid mechanical mishaps on the infamous terrain, coming home exactly three minutes clear on Sunday (7 April 2024) in the hardest one-day race on the road cycling calendar.

Speaking after the race, van der Poel said of his break, "I just wanted to make the race hard from thereon because I know that’s my strength. I felt super good today. When I had the gap, I knew that it was a tailwind to the finish for the most part.

"You always know in Roubaix a puncture is never far away, but I had quite a gap and the car also behind me so I was confident. And I could really enjoy the moment more than I could last week. I was really at my limit last week but today I felt incredible and I could really enjoy the last part.”

He also gave thanks to his Alpecin-Deceuninck teammates, including second-placed Jasper Philipsen , saying, “I’m super proud of the boys and very happy to finish it off."

The 29-year-old is the first man since Tom Boonen in 2009 to win back-to-back Paris-Roubaix races, with the Belgian going on to claim a record-equalling four victories.

Van der Poel also became the eighth man to win the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in the same year, a feat last achieved by Fabian Cancellara in 2013.

Fellow world champion Lotte Kopecky claimed the fourth edition of the women's 'Paris-Roubaix Femmes' race on Saturday.

Kopecky was in a group of six riders entering the the Roubaix Velodrome, and the Belgian outsprinted Elisa Balsamo to secure her first Paris-Roubaix triumph.

Van der Poel on top again despite course criticism

The build-up to the 119th edition of the 'Hell of the North' was dominated by concerns about crashes after a number of riders were injured in the Itzulia Basque Country race on Thursday.

Two-time reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard suffered multiple injuries including a collapsed lung and broken collarbone, while Jay Vine avoided requiring spinal surgery having slid off into a concrete ditch.

The Australian will spend up to six weeks wearing a neck brace and is doubtful for both the Tour de France and the Olympic Games Paris 2024 .

Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic also face time on the sidelines after being caught up in the mass collision.

A new sharp U-turn was introduced on the Paris-Roubaix course this week to slow riders down before the Arenberg Forest section, a measure van der Poel had questioned on social media with the words, "Is this a joke?"

The 55.7km of cobbles in the 259.7km test are notoriously hard on both body and bike, but the pre-Arenberg chicane was free of incident. And the riders had not even reached the cobbles when a pile-up forced Elia Viviani to abandon.

The early cobbled sectors and strong winds triggered big splits in the peloton before the halfway stage.

Just after the Arenberg Forest section, a group of three made the first serious break with Stefan Küng , Nils Politt and van der Poel's Alpecin teammate Gianni Vermeersch going clear.

Tom Pidcock was among those working hard at the front of the pack, and the trio was soon reeled in before van der Poel made his decisive attack.

Denmark's former world road race champion Mads Pedersen tried to close the gap, but the presence of Alpecin riders Vermeesch and Philipsen in the chase group made his task almost impossible as van der Poel extended his lead to two minutes with 35km remaining.

Vermeesh was then dropped from the chase group, and New Zealander Laurence Pithie lost his front wheel on a bend transitioning from tarmac to the cobbles while in second place.

Despite a mighty effort, Pithie was unable to close the gap leaving Philipsen, Pedersen, Küng and Politt to fight it out for the podium places.

Philipsen attacked with 10km to go with Küng unable to go with him, but could not shake off the others.

Pedersen led the three into the velodrome, Politt moved alongside, but Philipsen found a gap down the inside to make it an Alpecin one-two ahead of the Dane with Politt fourth.

How to Watch 2024 Paris-Roubaix—the Ultimate Grit Test of the Spring Classics

As the treacherous cobbles await cycling’s brave hearts, here is the route, favorites, and everything else you need to know about the Hell of the North.

With its treacherous cobblestone sectors and storied finish at the Roubaix Velodrome, this race stands as a testament to the pro peloton’s grittiest riders. From its humble beginnings over a century ago to its status today as one of cycling’s revered Monuments , Paris-Roubaix calls on riders to test their character in the ‘Hell of the North.’ As the men and women of the peloton prepare to tackle the cobbles this Saturday and Sunday, anticipation mounts for another edition in this legendary saga of endurance and grit.

The Pavé Sectors

How to watch, what happened last year, riders to watch, paris-roubaix’s history.

The second-oldest of cycling’s five Monuments, Paris-Roubaix was the brainchild of two textile magnates from Roubaix, a small city near Lille in northern France. As Peter Cossins describes in his fabulous book, The Monuments , Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez had just built a new velodrome (track racing was quite popular at the time) and decided that a road race would be a great way to raise the velodrome’s prestige in the eyes of the sporting public.

According to Cossins, the first edition of Paris-Roubaix took place on April 19, 1896, and took off at 5:30 a.m. from Roubaix’s Café Gillet. Germany’s Josef Fischer won the race over nine hours later, crossing the finish line after completing six laps of the velodrome. The next best rider, Denmark’s Charles Meyer, finished 23 minutes after the German.

Like many of cycling’s oldest one-day races, Paris-Roubaix has changed and evolved over the years: the starting place has shifted, the route has been altered, and the number of cobbled sectors has fluctuated dramatically, largely as a response to French road resurfacing projects in the early 1960s. Even the velodrome is not the same: the race currently finishes in a velodrome that was completed in 1937 and has hosted the race’s finish (with a few exceptions) every year since 1943.

As for its infamous nickname, the “Hell of the North,” Paris-Roubaix is assumed to have earned its most famous nickname from the ancient cobbled farm roads that the riders tackle as the race bounces its way across the windswept fields of northern France. But many of these areas were devastated by battles during World War I, and (as Cossins shares) it wasn’t until after the war that the race acquired its devilish moniker. A rider was asked by the event’s organizers to conduct a recon of the course in early 1919 and was appalled by what the war had left in its wake. For the first few years after the Great War, Paris-Roubaix was truly a trip through hell.

Paris-Roubaix Femmes

A women’s race called Paris-Roubaix Femmes was finally added by the organizers in 2020, but the first edition was canceled (along with that year’s men’s event) due to COVID-19. Taking place on Saturday—the day before the men’s event—the women’s race starts in Denain and then, after a quick loop around the city, heads north toward the Roubaix, covering the final 17 or so sectors of cobblestones that the men race over on Sunday.

Given the nature of the course, it makes sense that the riders who excel in Paris-Roubaix are often the same men and women who were at the front during the previous weekend’s Tour of Flanders . Belgians have won the men’s race 57 times, and ten riders have won Flanders and Roubaix in the same season, with Belgium’s Tom Boonen and Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara doing it twice.

With only three editions in the record books, it’s hard to identify any trends in the history of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes. But one team has enjoyed more success than any other: riders from Trek-Segafredo won the first two editions. Now known as Lidl-Trek, don’t be surprised if the team makes it three out of four this year.

Here’s everything else you need to know about this year’s Paris-Roubaix.

Since 1977, the men’s Paris-Roubaix has started in the town of Compiègne, about an hour northeast of the French capital. From there the race heads north through the Picardy region of northern France, an area made up of the departments of Oise, Aisne, and Somme, all areas that were heavily impacted by the horrors of World War I.

The men will cover these smooth, rolling roads during the first two hours of their 260K race, with a large breakaway likely escaping containing a mix of riders from wild card squads looking for publicity and domestiques from the contenders’ teams hoping to position themselves up the road so as to support their captains later in the race. Despite its lack of cobblestones, this early phase of the race can be dangerous, with crashes and crosswinds an ever-present threat.

First raced in 2021, the 148.5K Paris-Roubaix Femmes begins in Denain, about 90 minutes north of Compiègne by car. Saturday’s women’s race begins with a loop around the town, then joins the course that the men will cover on Sunday.

Like the men’s event, these opening stretches of asphalt roads offer an opportunity for an early breakaway to form. Last year, the winner came out of this early move, so expect the teams of race favorites to be a bit more selective as to which riders they let go up the road.

Paris-Roubaix is a race defined by its cobblestones, known locally as pavé . And there are lots of them: The women will race over 29.2K of the softball-sized rocks (spread over 17 sectors), and the men will cover 29 sectors on Sunday, for a total of 55.7K—the most the race has included in 30 years.

The cobbled sectors are numbered in descending order, beginning with Sector 17—Hornaing in Wandignies—for the women, and Sector 29—Troisvilles—for the men. The riders hit these first sectors about 68 and 96K into their respective races, and it’s pretty much “game on” from there as they wind their way to Roubaix along the border between France and Belgium—hitting just about every cobbled farm road the organizers could find along the way.

Each sector of pavé has its own flavor, and all of them are inspected in the days prior to the event and given a star rating to indicate their difficulty. This year’s men’s and women’s races boast six and nine 4- or 5-star sectors, respectively. But don’t let these ratings fool you: every sector offers its own set of challenges and none of them is easy. (With the exception of Sector 1, a well-manicured set of paving stones just before the entrance to the Roubaix Velodrome.)

The pavé turns Paris-Roubaix into a race of anticipation and attrition. As the kilometers tick down the speed increases, and riders are steadily dropped from the back of the peloton due to fatigue, mechanicals, or crashes. The better riders and teams fight to position themselves at the front of the group heading into each cobbled sector. This allows them to pick the best line over the stones, which is usually on top of the raised “crown” that runs down the center of the road. From this position, riders can both dictate the pace of the race and avoid crashes or other obstacles—or at least react to them more quickly than riders stuck at the back.

The men’s race comes to a head with about 95K to go as the riders hit Sector 19, the Arenberg Forest, the first 5-star sector, and perhaps the hardest and most (in)famous in the race. A long, fast sector that features some of the area’s gnarliest cobblestones, the pack usually splits into pieces here as the contenders accelerate to try and force the first major selection of the day. Riders who get dropped here might never see the front of the race again.

The route of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes doesn’t take the riders through the Forest, which—as brutal as the Arenberg sector is—we imagine the riders don’t appreciate. But they will cover the race’s other two 5-star sectors: Mons-en-Pévèle, a long, brutal sector that shapes the final hour of the race; and Carrefour de l’Arbre, a punishing sector that’s about 18K from the finish line and therefore provides the perfect opportunity for riders hoping to drop their breakaway companions and ride away to victory.

If the pavé doesn’t determine the winner, the Roubaix Velodrome awaits. There, a small group of exhausted riders will need to muster enough mental and physical energy for a sprint on the ancient concrete track.

Upsets are common in the velodrome. In 1997, France’s Frédéric Guesdon—a complete unknown at the time—shot from the back of a group of favorites to win. In 2016, Australia’s Mathew Hayman—a career domestique with few wins of his own—denied Boonen a chance to take a record-breaking fifth Roubaix victory. And, of course, who can forget last year’s women’s race, when Canada’s Alison Jackson—one of only a handful of riders to survive the day’s long breakaway—timed her sprint perfectly to take a legendary victory.

One final consideration: the weather. Cobbled roads are bad enough when it’s sunny and dry; they’re even worse in the rain. It’s been raining throughout much of the week, but it’s expected to be cloudy and dry on Saturday and Sunday. There will be lots of mud and puddles though, which means the stones will be slippery in several places.

If you subscribed to NBC’s Peacock Premium streaming service ($5.99/month) before last year’s Tour de France—and didn’t cancel your subscription—then you also get access to Paris-Roubaix and several other races covered by NBC and its partners. (If you’re looking for ad-free coverage, you’ll need a subscription to Peacock Premium Plus, which runs $11.99 a month.)

The Peacock app is available on Amazon Fire TV, Android and AndroidTV devices, Chromecast, Google platforms, iOS devices, PlayStation 4 and 5, Roku, Xbox devices, VIZIO SmartCast TVs, and LG Smart TVs. You can also watch online via the Peacock website.

If you’re in Canada, FloBikes ($30/month) is the best way to watch Paris-Roubaix. Both races are available live and on-demand on FloBikes.com, the FloSports iOS app, and the FloSports app for Amazon FireTV, Roku, and Apple TV.

Peacock’s coverage of Saturday’s Paris-Roubaix Femmes begins at 9:15 a.m. EDT, just as the riders are approaching the first sector of pavé . The race is expected to finish in the Roubaix Velodrome by around 11:30 a.m. EDT.

On Sunday, Peacock will be streaming the men’s Paris-Roubaix in its entirety, beginning at 4:55 a.m. EDT. We’ll be up early to watch the men hit the first sector of cobbles at about 7:30 a.m. EDT. If that’s too early for you, make sure you’re tuned in by about 9:00 a.m. EDT, when the leaders should hit the Arenberg Forest. The race is expected to finish about two hours later.

After dominating the Tour of Flanders, Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky and her stacked SD Worx team went into Saturday’s women’s Paris-Roubaix as the top favorites. But the race ended with a big upset as Canada’s Alison Jackson (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) outsprinted what was left of the day’s big breakaway to take the biggest win of her career.

Jackson and seventeen other riders went up the road early in the 145.5km race, and no one expected any of them to feature in the finale. But Kopecky and the other pre-race favorites couldn’t bring them all back in time, and seven of them survived to fight for the win in the Roubaix Velodrome. Jackson threw up her hands in disbelief after crossing the finish line, stunned and amazed by what she had just accomplished. Italy’s Katia Ragusa (Liv Racing) finished second, and Belgium’s Marthe Truyen(Fenix-Deceuninck) was third.

But Sunday’s men’s race wasn’t settled in a sprint: the Netherlands’ Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won his second Monument of the spring (he won Milano-Sanremo in March) after attacking over the top of Belgium’s Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who accelerated off the front of a small leading group on the Carrefour de l’Arbre before a flat tire ruined his chance to win the race. Van der Poel’s teammate, Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen, took second, finishing off a dream day for Alpecin-Deceuninck. Van Aert ended the day in third.

Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike)

With Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) skipping the race to focus on the upcoming Ardennes Classics, Vos is the top favorite for Saturday’s Paris-Roubaix Femmes. A legend of the sport, the 36-year-old Dutchwoman won the 250th race of her career at last Wednesday’s Dwars door Vlaanderen , then took fourth at Sunday’s Tour of Flanders.

Now she gets another shot at the biggest race still missing from her already impressive resume: the Hell of the North. And she’ll be tough to beat. A former cyclocross World Champion, she’ll have no issues on Roubaix’s muddy cobblestones, and she’s arguably one of the best sprinters in the bunch, so a sprint on the velodrome won’t bother her either. In the end, her chances might depend on whether or not her team can keep her at the front of the race and out of harm’s way; she often finds herself isolated deep in the finale of longer classics, and that could hurt her Saturday.

Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx-Protime)

Kopecky was unable to win a third consecutive Tour of Flanders on Sunday. She and her teammates rode a strong race, they just didn’t have that little bit extra a rider often needs in races as long and as hard as a cobbled classic. But the Belgian gets another chance in Paris-Roubaix, one of the only races her SD Worx team has yet to win. Her team is depleted due to injuries and the Netherlands’ Demi Vollering—who’s been Kopecky’s best teammate—is skipping the race to prepare for the Ardennes. But Roubaix is a tricky, often unpredictable event, and a rider of Kopecky’s caliber can never be counted out.

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

After winning last Sunday’s Tour of Flanders for the third time in his career, Van der Poel—who just so happens to be the defending Paris-Roubaix champion—looks poised to become the first rider since Cancellara (in 2013) to win Flanders and the Hell of the North in the same season. A win would cap off an incredible cobbled run for the Dutchman, who also won the E3 Saxo Classic and finished second in Ghent-Wevelgem . As we said heading into Flanders, this is his race to lose.

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek)

Van der Poel looked pretty unbeatable in Flanders this past Sunday, but he might have found his third victory in the Flemish Monument a bit harder to come by had Pedersen not crashed in last Wednesday’s Dwars door Vlaanderen. Battered and bruised, the Dane started Sunday’s race anyway, but then—by his own admission—he raced a bit stupidly, attacking far out from the finish instead of saving his reserves for the finale. With another week of recovery—and a course that suits him better than the Tour of Flanders does—he should be even better at Roubaix this coming Sunday.

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

Last year’s Roubaix result mirrored that of the season’s first Monument, with Van der Poel on the top step of the podium in both. Don’t be surprised if that happens this year as well, only with Van der Poel’s teammate, Philipsen, winning both races. In Milano-Sanremo , once his own attack (with Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar ) was caught, van der Poel devoted himself to Philipsen—who’s one of the fastest sprinters in the world—and the Belgian delivered.

The same could happen Sunday if Van der Poel proves unable to escape on his own and instead decides to set up Philipsen—who was second in Roubaix last year—for a small group sprint in the Roubaix Velodrome. Before the season, Alpecin-Deceuninck said its dream scenario would be Van der Poel winning Flanders and Philipsen winning Roubaix. So far, they’re halfway toward making that dream a reality.

Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates)

If you’re looking for a dark horse, keep an eye on Politt. Second in 2019, the German has raced well all spring. He was second in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, seventh in the E3 Saxo Classic, twelfth in Dwars door Vlaanderen, and most importantly, third at the Tour of Flanders. Roubaix suits him best of all, and he’s definitely one to watch this Sunday.

Other Riders to Watch

Lucinda Brand (Lidl-Trek), Ellen van Dijk (Lidl-Trek), Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ), Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ), Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-Quick Step), Yves Lampaert (Soudal-Quick Step), Matej Mohorič (Bahrain-Victorious), and Alberto Bettiol (EF Education-EasyPost).

From our tour. Impressions of our American tourist:

We walked over the bridge where I got a better photo of the Kremlin to enter metro station to travel the one stop back to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. This cathedral has a fascinating story.  It is Moscow's largest Orthodox cathedral.  It was built between 1839-1883 as a memorial to those who fell fighting Napoleon's army in the War of 1812. 

At its entry, the marble walls are covered with inscribed names of those whose lives were lost.  For more than a century, it was the city's largest single structure, dominating the city skyline.  In 1931, a few seconds demolished what had taken 50 years to build, following Stalin's orders. 

The marble from the church and other valued materials and objects were stripped and removed to be used elsewhere, such as for creating art in the Metro stations.  During Khrushchev's time, one of the world's largest outdoor swimming pools was built. 

In recent years, the decision was made to rebuild the Cathedral; this time it took only 5 years at a cost of $150 million.  While the city provided most of the funding, when the decision to rebuild was announced, the rubles poured in from the general population.  Once again, photos were not allowed, but my friend bought a booklet, and she kindly let me use it so you can see its elaborate interior. 

What you probably DO know about this cathedral is that the Russian punk band Pussy Riot performed a protest concert inside the church in 2012, resulting in their arrest and jail time for 3 of its members.

After my friend selected her icon from the gift shop, it was time to bid our favorite Muscovite guide farewell. Our Moscow guide has restored my faith in her generation.  So wise and compassionate she is.  She was extremely perceptive about our preferences and needs. 

As my friend noted to me last night after we got back to our room, there wasn't a problem our guide didn't solve with calm and timely effectiveness.  After she presented both of us with gifts tied with satin ribbon, she walked us across the plaza in front of the cathedral to our waiting cab.  She told my friend that she reminded her of her own "Baba" and that she would send my friend a picture of her to show the resemblance. 

Even with this affection on her part toward my friend, I know our guide would have delivered the same excellent guide service to us, topped with abundant grace and sensitivity.  These characteristics are a part of her inner soul.  Our positive regard of Moscow is because of our guide.

What you get:

• + A friend in Moscow.

USA TODAY Sports will provide the latest on live updates, Tiger Woods’ status, the leaderboard, highlights and more throughout the day. Follow along.

Tiger Woods picks up birdie, gets back under par

Tiger Woods is back under par after picking up a birdie on hole No. 8, which the ESPN broadcasters dubbed the “easiest hole on the golf course today” at Par-5 and 570 yards. 

Woods opened the hole by launching a 307-yard drive down the right side of the fairway with a ball speed at 180 MPH. He landed on the green with his next stroke and two-putted the ball in for his second birdie of the day. He’s tied in 15th place at -1 through eight holes. — Cydney Henderson

Scottie Scheffler moves closer to lead with birdie

Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler is showing his skills and lingering at the top of the leaderboard.

He shot a birdie on hole No. 16 to come within one stroke of leader Bryson DeChambeau. Scheffler smacked a drive where the ball landed squarely on the green. He then easily tapped in the putt to score two strokes on the par-three hole.

His score of -6 stands alone in second place. - Victoria Hernandez

Tiger Woods scores par on No. 7

Tiger Woods is staying consistent and scored par on hole No 7. He tapped a short putt on the fourth stroke of the hole to finish it off. He’s scored par on five of his holes so far with a birdie and a bogey. His even score is tied for 29th place. - Victoria Hernandez

Tiger Woods even through six holes

Tiger Woods' putt on the sixth hole was bad. He left the uphill effort well short. That’s not the kind of effort we’re used to seeing from the 15-time major champion. He converted from 5 feet out for par, so no harm no foul. - Adam Woodard, Golfweek

Patrick Cantlay nails eagle after early struggles

Patrick Cantlay joined in on the fun by scoring the Masters' third eagle of the day.

On his second stroke of the No. 17 hole with 146 yards to go, he smacked the ball and it bounced on the green before casually rolling into the cup. He cracked a little smile and fist bumped his competitors.

Cantlay has shot three birdies and four bogeys in the first round. The eagle brought him to a score of -1. - Victoria Hernandez

Tiger Woods hits bogey

Tiger Woods is back at even par after a tough time on hole No. 4. With the ball sitting on the edge of the green, the five-time champion analyzed his shot. He took the putt and tapped the ball just beyond the cup. 

He then marked his spot while Jason Day finished his hole with two putts and Max Homa took his two shots. Woods then finished with a little tap for a bogey. - Victoria Hernandez

Will Zalatoris scores eagle on hole No. 13

Will Zalatoris is keeping the competition fierce and scored an eagle on hole No. 13. He boosted a drive on the 197-yard, par-five hole and the ball landed firmly on the green. He then tapped a putt to finish in three strokes.

The American now has a score of -3 to put him in a tie for third place. - Victoria Hernandez

Tiger Woods stays in red after two holes

History of Green Jacket at Masters

The Green Jacket awarded to the Masters champion each year is one of the most iconic symbols in sports. The tradition dates back to the founding of Augusta National Golf Club when it was decided that members should wear brightly colored blazers at the 1937 Masters so that patrons would know who to ask if they needed assistance.

On the heels of their CMT Music Awards collaboration, Little Big Town and Sugarland have announced the “Take Me Home” Tour. Titled after the song they performed on the CMTs — Phil Collins ’ 1985 hit from No Jacket Required — the trek will kick off Oct. 24 in Greenville, South Carolina, and conclude Dec. 13 with a show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Country trio the Castellows will open all dates.

In 2008, Little Big Town, Sugarland, and Jake Owen performed Dream Academy’s 1985 single “Life in a Northern Town” at the CMT Awards, and LBT would join Sugarland on their Incredible Machine Tour a few years later.
