Paris Roubaix Femmes '25: Going Together

With just one woman up the road, it was Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) and her teammate Lorena Wiebes going on the attack.  The duo of champions used the four-star pave sector 12 to attack the vastly reduced peloton of favorites to go on the offensive.  Working together, they quickly built up a twenty second advantage.  It was hard to tell who was working for whom between the World Champion and the European Champion.  However, it was easy to tell that it was working either way.

Paris Roubaix Femmes '22: Is This The Move?

As the peloton crossed Sector 12 it was Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) who went on the offensive.  As she road off the front it was only Marta Bastianelli (UAE Team ADQ) who could hold onto the Belgium Champion's wheel.  Once the pair had a gap they set about working together to grow their advantage.  While they had just under 53 kilometers to race, these two have the legs to make this attack stick.  However, so many different things can go wrong one the cobbles.

Paris Roubaix Femmes: The First of the First

It was an extra year in coming, but come it did.  Today was the very first time that the pro women took on the fabled “Hell of the North,” Paris Roubaix.  Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo) attacked on the very first section of pave (cobblestones).  By the time she came of the Section 12, the Auchy a Bersee paves, she had built up another two minutes on the large group of chasers behind her.  As the riders come off a section of the cobbles, there are their soigneurs lined along the smoother pavement ready to hand them a bottle, a gel, or in needed a wheel or a bike change.  The race gets so strung out, that getting help from the following team cars is near impossible.
