The route of this years Paris-Roubaix has been revealed. The mens race, on Sunday 12 April, is slightly shorter than in 2025, at 258.3km versus 259.2km last year. It includes 30 cobbled sectors for a total of 54.8km of pav and is expected to finish at 4.30pm local time. Meanwhile, the sixth edition of the womens race, also held on 12 April rather than a day earlier as was the case for previous editions, will be 5km shorter than last year, but adds three extra cobbled sections. Its slated to finish at the Roubaix velodrome later in the day than the mens race, at around 6.20pm local time. The Roubaix velodrome will be busy because there are also Junior and Under-23 races scheduled for the same day. Reconfigured mens route As usual, the race begins in Compigne, with the riders hitting the cobbles at around 100km for the Troisvilles sector, which always features as the first cobbled run. This year, its followed by a cluster of four closely packed sectors, a configuration that was used for the 2024 edition. Route planner Thierry Gouvenou points out that in 2024, the race began to split here under pressure from Alpecin-Deceuninck. To up the ante, the route will next return to the rarely used sector 26, which adds an 800m climb to the predominantly flat parcours. Gouvenou reckons the tweaks to the route might catch some riders off-guard and result in an early pre-selection, as well as speeding up the race overall maybe eclipsing the 2024 edition, which was the fastest ever. The classic five-star sectors remain, with the Troue dArenberg tackled at kilometre 163,Mons-en-Pvle at kilometre 210 and Carrefour de lArbre at kilometre 241. The mens race will feature 25 teams the 18 WorldTour teams plus seven invited UCI ProTeams. More cobbles for the womens race The womens Paris-Roubaix race route again starts in Denain, but the three new cobbled sectors add 4.5km of pav, bringing the total to 33.7km. The new sectors include the four-star Haveluy at kilometre 52, before the women cover the same final 17 sectors as the men. 21 teams have been invited to the womens race the 14 Women's WorldTour teams plus seven Womens ProTeams. As usual, theres the Paris-Roubaix challenge for amateurs, which takes place on Saturday 11 April, the day before the pro races.
