The 2025 version of the boys’s Paris-Roubaix can have two new sectors of cobbles and a distinct speed-slowing option to the Wooded area of Arenberg, changing the chicane from final yr, that may stay the race hellish however must make it more secure. Mathieu van der Poel received the 2024 Paris-Roubaix with an impressive 60km solo assault.
The 122nd version of Paris-Roubaix shall be hung on Sunday, April 13 over a distance of 259.2km.
Race organisers ASO agreed with a request from the riders so as to add a chicane on the front of the Wooded area of Arenberg for the 2024 race. The last-minute exchange and a loop of a site visitors island sparked massive debate however labored, slowing the tempo of the peloton at the quite descending immediately street to the Wooded area of Arenberg. As an alternative of hitting the cobbles at 60km/h, riders grew to become onto the field a lot slower, leading to a ways fewer crashes.
For 2025, the speed-slowing way will head down a “small detour” as a substitute of the chicane, which contains 4 right-angle corners within the ultimate kilometre prior to the doorway to the cobbled miners’ monitor that cuts immediately throughout the thick woodland.
“This year, we were able to find an alternative that allows the peloton to slow down more smoothly, a small detour that runs alongside the Arenberg mining site. With this trick, there will be four right-angle turns in the kilometre before the Trouée,” race director Thierry Gouvenou defined.
ASO’s press unencumber didn’t identify the path of the brand new front to Arenberg. Then again, the map makes it transparent the race intends to practice the D13 from Wallers to Bellaing, turning left onto Rue Jean Jaurés with a pointy correct to stick in this street prior to turning left directly to the D313 which leads into Arenberg Wooded area.
The 2025 males’s Paris-Roubaix will come with a complete of 30 cobbled sectors. The race will get started in Compiègne and finish within the iconic Roubaix velodrome.
The primary sector comes after the village of Troisvilles after 95km of racing. The final is a symbolic sector close to the doorway to the velodrome. Gouvenou has added two new sectors, 30km prior to the Wooded area of Arenberg that would shake up the ways and spot assaults pass even previous.
The brand new sectors are in Artres, after 130.9km of racing, lasting 1300 metres, and in Famars quickly after, lasting 1200m.
“These are not particularly difficult passages but by introducing them it allows us to have a sequence of five sectors almost without riding on asphalt,” Gouvenou defined.
