Results ands Highlights from Paris-Roubaix 2024

Kopecky is the first woman to win the Hell of the North in the World Champion’s jersey, Van der Poel dominates the peloton with a savage long-range attack.

How Paris-Roubaix Femmes unfolded

2024 paris-roubaix top 10, 2024 paris-roubaix femmes top 10.

Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Deceuninck crossed the line unchallenged following a 59-kilometer attack the day after Lotte Kopecky of SD Worx-Protime won Paris-Roubaix Femmes from a six-up sprint.

This is the second time Van der Poel claims victory in the prestigious Roubaix Velodrome on a day filled with intense action and drama. Second place was Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), and Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was third.

This is the third Spring Classics race won by Alpecin-Deceuninck this season. It was the fastest-ever edition of Paris-Roubaix with Van der Poel averaging 47.85 kilometers per hour for 260 km—1 kilometer per hour faster than his previous record, which was set last year.

“It is hard to believe. The team was stronger than last year. I’m super proud of the boys and happy to finish it off,” said Van der Poel in the post-race interview.

When asked if his 59-kilometer attack was planned, he said. “No, not really. I wanted to make the race hard from there on because I knew that was my strength, and I felt super good today. I knew it was a tailwind to the finish line for the most part. I had a really good day.”

“I never could have dreamt of this as a child. I was super motivated for this year. I wanted to show the jersey in a nice way. It goes beyond expectations. I’m a bit loss for words,” the World Champion added.

Saturday’s Paris-Roubaix Femmes was an entirely different race from the 2023 edition, with a lead group featuring multiple World Champions and six racers who all could handily win a race like Paris-Roubaix. But it was reigning World Champion Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) who played the race flawlessly from the early moments, including an on-bike handlebar adjustment to a picture-perfect sprint finish. Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) finished second, and Pfeiffer Georgi (dsm-firmenich PostNL) third.

“This was the goal of the season,” said Kopecky in the post-race interview. “The confidence the team has given me the whole season, but especially this week—they made me laugh as much as possible, and they made me feel like I could win this race.”

“It’s always nervous. You are here with two very fast sprinters, Vos and Balsamo, so you’re never sure. One moment, I thought, ‘Now I’m boxed in,’ and I had to start the sprint pretty early, but I could keep sprinting,” the Belgian added.

Kopecky is the first woman to win Paris-Roubaix Femmes in the World Champion colors.

How Paris-Roubaix unfolded

As the peloton rolled out from Compiègne, anticipation was heavy. Riders knew they would face a true test of grit and endurance across 29 punishing cobblestone sectors spanning nearly 260 kilometers. Among the favorites were Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), alongside stars like Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), and Tom Pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers).

Numerous attempts at breakaways were made throughout the early kilometers, but it wasn’t until Kasper Asgreen (Lidl-Trek) made his move that a serious threat to the peloton formed. Asgreen, along with a select group of ten riders, including Per Strand Hagenes (Visma-Lease a Bike), Marco Haller (Bora-hansgrohe), and Rasmus Tiller (Uno X-Mobility), managed to carve out a 1:30 gap, signaling the beginning of a strategic battle.

Behind them, the peloton, led by Alpecin-Deceuninck, remained vigilant, unwilling to let the breakaway gain too much ground as they entered the first cobblestone sector. The dynamic changed continuously as attacks and counterattacks peppered the race, with each rider jockeying for position on the unforgiving roads.

Van der Poel positioned himself strategically throughout the race. His Alpecin-Deceuninck team worked efficiently to control the pace and keep him in contention. Despite challenges like punctures and crashes that plagued some riders, Van der Poel remained focused on staying near the front of the race.

With still 150 kilometers left to go, just 60 riders were left on the front, six of them from Alpecin-Deceuninck. Crosswinds kicked in as the race entered its decisive phases, and Van der Poel led a chase group that gradually reeled in the leaders.

Ineos-Grenadiers rider disqualified

Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) was disqualified from the race after taking an illegal tow from his team car following a puncture. Tarling was part of the select 30-rider front group, which formed after Alpecin-Deceuninck forced the pace for Van der Poel with 150km to go.

After an impressive performance from the young Brit at Dwars door Vlaanderen and the Tour of Flanders, his race ended early with 130km to go when he was officially disqualified by race commissaries and visibly disappointed.

60 kilometers to go

With 59 km to go, Van der Poel unleashed a savage attack on the Mons-en-Pévèle sector, leaving his rivals struggling to respond. Behind him, the chase group fractured, unable to match Van der Poel’s relentless pace. Riders like Pedersen and Pidcock fought bravely but couldn’t close the gap. Philipsen, meanwhile, was happy to sit in the group while his teammate Van der Poel stormed away from the group.

With his lead approaching almost a minute, Van der Poel’s victory seemed increasingly inevitable. As he navigated sector 10, his lead grew to over one minute and thirty seconds. His lead extended to 2 minutes and 46 seconds as he finished sector 9 unscathed. Despite attempts by the chase group to close the gap, Van der Poel’s lead remained substantial.

10 kilometers to go

With just 10 kilometers to go, Van der Poel’s lead continued at over 2 minutes. And despite the efforts of the chasers, including Pedersen, Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ), and Politt, Philipsen maintained a strong position for the podium.

Van der Poel navigated Carrefour de l’Arbre with ease, extending his lead to 2 minutes and 46 seconds. However, a crash for Laurence Pithien (Groupama-FDJ) interrupts the chase behind them as he loses control on a corner.

Philipsen makes a decisive attack on sector 3, putting pressure on the chasers. Despite no attacks from the chase group, Pithie and Vermeersch struggle to bridge the gap, trailing by almost 30 seconds.

With a lead holding steady at about 2 minutes and 50 seconds, Van der Poel’s advantage was remarkable, reminiscent of his Tour of Flanders win. As the race entered the final kilometers, Van der Poel faced only two more sectors, both relatively tame.

As the tension mounted in the chase group behind, it was evident that only two podium spots remained, leaving one rider disappointed. Van der Poel smoothly navigated Sector 2, inching closer to a worry-free finish.

Van der Poel’s dominance continued as he began to relax and celebrate, even sharing a fist bump with his team car. Meanwhile, Küng fell further behind after being distanced by Philipsen’s earlier attack.

At the velodrome

Once at the Roubaix Velodrome, Van der Poel crossed the finish line with exactly a three-minute margin—the biggest the race has seen in 22 years. This is also his sixth monument victory, putting him inside the top sixteen riders to ever do so, joining the likes of Tom Boonen, Fabian Cancellara, and Johan Museeuw. Van der Poel is the first rider since Cancellara in 2013 to win both the Tour of Flanders and Roubaix in the same season.

Behind him, the group of three, consisting of Philipsen, Pedersen, and Politt, entered the velodrome for the sprint. Küng trailed seconds behind. Following the ring of the bell, Politt attacked first, but Philipsen came around the German for a 1-2 win, and Pedersen finished in third place.

For Jasper Philipsen, this is another great result in an exceptional spring. He’s now won Milano-Sanremo and Brugge-De Panne and made the podium at Paris-Roubaix.

One-hundred thirty-nine riders took to the start in Denain on a warm, almost sunny day—definitely not your usual cobbled classic weather! The crosswinds were brutal, though, and riders spread across the cobbles, buffeted by 18 mph wind gusts.

Early in the race, there were some minor crashes, including Coryn Labecki (EF Education–Cannondale) and last year’s winner Alison Jackson (EF Education-Cannondale). Still, there were no major catastrophes, and all the riders made it back onto their bikes, though Jackson required a bike change and was forced to chase. Small breaks attempted to ride away early, but the peloton quickly swallowed them up.

At 15 kilometers, Victoire Joncheray of Komugi-Grand Est launched a solo attack, growing her gap to an impressive 1:50. She held her solo lead for over 20 kilometers before getting caught by the peloton as Jackson caught up from behind.

At kilometer 66, the first cobbled section of the race, from Hornaing to Wandignies. The peloton entered the 3.7km stretch of cobbles together, jockeying for position. SD Worx-Protime’s Lotte Kopecky—one of the top contenders for the win—controlled the pace at the front. Team dsm-firmenich also wanted to control the race, with Rachele Barbieri attacking at the front. Visma-Lease-a-Bike’s Marianne Vos also moved towards the front, using her cyclocross skills to fly over the cobbles.

Live coverage thankfully began with 80 kilometers of racing to go. As riders hit the road between the cobbled sectors, the peloton swarmed and bunched, jockeying for position. The pace seemed higher than you would typically see with 80 kilometers to go, with key riders clearly trying to stay close to the front after the early crashes in the day.

Strategic moves and on-the-fly adjustments

As they hit the fourth cobbled section, Kopecky attacked, spreading the peloton out across the cobbles, stringing out riders behind her. Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) stayed close as Vos accelerated to jump from the peloton into the newly formed lead group. While no serious breakaway had formed once the riders hit the pavement again, the peloton had certainly broken up quite a bit, with a group of 15 in the front and a large chase group close behind.

Jackson attacked out of the front group, with Lidl-Trek’s Ellen Van Dijk covering the move instantly. In the short sector 14 (Beuvry-la-Forêt to Orchies), the chase group worked to make that connection to the lead group as Van Dijk took control of the front of the race. A drone shot showed riders stretched across the entirety of the sector. Kopecky had a bike issue at 61 kilometers to go, asking the team car for an Allen key as she impressively tightened her handlebars on the fly .

Kopecky quickly raced her way back up to the lead group, moving towards the front just as the lead group hit Sector 13, the 1.7-kilometer Orchies segment, lead by Visma Lease-a-Bike’s Sophie Von Berswordt. Following the sector, the pace settled at the front as the peloton came back together.

At 53 kilometers to go, Kopecky made another attack on the cobbles, this time joined by her teammate Lorena Wiebes, who almost instantly began to struggle with a bike issue, Vos, Christina Schweinberger, and Pfeiffer Georgi. As Wiebes struggled with her bike, Vos attacked, bringing the lead group of four to a gap of 10 seconds.

Behind them, several riders, including FDJ Suez’s Grace Brown and two Human Powered Health riders, struggled with flats on the tricky cobbled section. The attack was reabsorbed into the dwindling peloton, forming a lead group of about 25 riders. Riders, including Kopecky and Van Dijk, tested small attacks, but they were quickly contained by the strong riders in the lead group.

FDJ-Suez’s Jade Wiel attacked out of Sector 8, building a slight advantage as Tiffany Cromwell of Canyon SRAM led the chasers. Wiel’s advantage grew to 10 seconds before Kopecky moved to the front, with Vos tight on her wheel. Van Dijk counterattacked, but FDJ-Suez moved into the lead group to cover moves as their rider moved up the road. Wiel’s advantage grew to over 20 seconds as Kopecky made a stop at the team car to pick up extra bottles. Wiel’s lead continued to extend, hitting 30 seconds with just under 28 kilometers and a few sectors of gravel of racing left.

20 kilometers to go

At the front of the chase group, Vos and Kopecky looked around, and Van Dijk attacked the group, aiming to shut down Wiel’s attack. But the FDJ riders hopped on her wheel, dropping the efficacy of Van Dijk’s attack. Wiel’s advantage dropped to 10 seconds, but then began to grow again. But in sector 6—Bourghelles to Wannehain—Wiel’s was reabsorbed into the lead group as Visma Lease-a-Bike and Van Dijk brought her back with FDJ’s Amber Kraak close behind. Van Dijk and Kraak both dropped into the time trial position, creating yet another small gap off the front.

Kraak and Van Dijk quickly extended their small gap as FDJ continued to play defense in the front of the race. As the gap grew to 15 seconds, the Visma Lease-a-Bike and SD Worx riders seemed unbothered by the two-woman attack, though the peloton’s pace accelerated as they hit the cobbles yet again.

Kopecky moved to the front and attacked with Balsamo, Georgi, and Vos on her wheel. The gap to the leaders quickly came down as Georgi fell off the pace and dropped back. Thanks to Kopecky’s massive surge, the gap to the rest of the peloton stretched aggressively in mere moments. The trio closed on Kraak and Van Dijk, putting two Lidl-Trek riders in the lead group with 18 kilometers to go.

Van Dijk let into Carrefour de l’Arbre, and the group of five maintained a strong lead on the peloton as Georgi tried to claw her way back, only eight seconds behind. Balsamo started to separate slightly from the lead group, struggling to hold the pace. Georgi made contact with Balsamo, passing her in her quest to connect to the leaders.

At the front, the riders struggled to pull together, as Van Dijk didn’t want to pull since Balsamo and Georgi were coming close to bridging up to the group. Balsamo and Georgi closed the gap, and immediately, Van Dijk attacked, with Vos staying tight to her wheel. The group of six stayed together as they hit 10 kilometers of racing to go, 40 seconds ahead of the chasers.

With eight kilometers to go, the group’s advantage shrunk to 25 seconds as the riders at the front struggled to work together cohesively. As the gap dropped to 20 seconds to a chase group of 10, including Wiebes and Borghesi, Kraak worked at the front, seemingly trying to press their advantage as Kopecky calmly sat on her wheel.

At five kilometers, the gap was just under 20 seconds as Kraak attacked, then Van Dijk with Kopecky and Vos on her wheel, Georgi and Balsamo staying tight behind. Behind them, the group of chasers tried to bridge up, but couldn’t seem to make any headway. The lead group’s 20-second gap was still in place at 2.5 kilometers to go, as the six racers started to focus on being prepared for the finish sprint while maintaining their gap. Van Dijk took a pull on the front with Vos right on her wheel, and they hit the final small cobble sector.

The final sprint

The group of six—nearly all World Champions—hit the velodrome together, preparing for the final sprint.

The bell rang for one lap to go. Georgi was the first to go, followed by Vos, but it was Kopecky coming from the back and around the other riders to take her first-ever Paris-Roubaix Femmes win. “This was the goal of the season,” said Kopecky in the post-race interview. “It’s always nervous. You are here with two very fast sprinters, Vos and Balsamo, so you’re never sure. One moment, I thought, ‘Now I’m boxed in,’ and I had to start the sprint pretty early, but I could keep sprinting”

Mathieu Van der Poel, the history-maker

Relive the best moments of paris-roubaix 2024, mathieu van der poel's emotion, winner 2024.

Mathieu VAN DER POEL

All news of paris-roubaix.

Mathieu Van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck): “This special moment won’t last forever”

What happened today is actually hard to believe. I won Roubaix again alongside my team, that was even stronger that last year. I’m super proud of the boys and super happy to finish it off. I’ve been feeling very good for a long time, and today has been my best day in this Classics season.

I had not really planned to attack that early. I wanted to make the...

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek): “Mathieu was on a different league today”

To be honest, I’m really happy. Mathieu [Van der Poel] was on a different league today. The way he was racing was impressive. When he attacked, we all were riding flat out not to allow him any gap, yet we couldn’t close in. At one point he was still gaining time and the race for second started. In the final, we were still riding all out and then [Jasper] Philipsen...

Inside Paris-Roubaix

Get exclusive information about Paris-Roubaix

Paris-Roubaix

Paris-Roubaix is one of professional cycling's most iconic races with the muddy cobbled roads of northern France testing riders to their limits and ensuring only the very best emerge to fight for victory. It often comes down to a small group sprint to decide the winner in the Roubaix velodrome.

Paris-Roubaix is one of the oldest races on the UCI WorldTour calendar. It was first held in 1896 and each edition of the race has left a mark on the history of the sport. Josef Fischer won the first ever edition, with only four other riders finishing within an hour of his time. Fischer remains the only German winner of Paris-Roubaix, with Belgian and French riders dominating the list of winners (58 and 26 victories respectively). Italy is next with 11 victories, including three consecutive victories by Francesco Moser in 1978, 1979 and 1980.

Paris-Roubaix was dubbed the l'enfer du Nord or the 'Hell of the North' after the First World War left the race route desolated and in ruins. The organisers did not know if the route was even passable but found a way around the trenches and the shell holes so the riders could reach Roubaix.

The creation of modern roads after the Second World War and the economic boom of the sixties lead to many of the cobbled farm tracks being covered by asphalt or dug up all together, threatening the survival of Paris-Roubaix. Fortunately the Les Amis de Paris–Roubaix Association was formed in 1983 and has lovingly restored and protected sections of cobblestones ever since.

The current race route is close to 260km long and includes 28 sections of cobbles that make up close to a fifth of the total race distance. The first part of the race is on normal roads, with the most testing cobbled sections packed into the final 100km. The Forest of Arenberg after 160km traditionally marks the point when the racing begins in earnest and it is where the top contenders show their form. Decisive attacks are often launched on the three-kilometre long Mons-en-Pévèle sector, near Cysoing or on the Camphin-en-Pévèle sector. However Paris-Roubaix can be decided in a split second by a crash, a puncture or a small gap forming in the line of riders as they bounce along the cobbles.

The powerfully built Classics riders enjoy racing on the cobbles and so love Paris-Roubaix. However many other riders hate the pain and suffering involved. Five-times Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault finished fourth in 1980, won it with a show of anger and determination in 1981 but then crashed numerous times in 1982. He refused ever to ride Paris-Roubaix again. Some riders agree with him but others consider making it to the finish in the iconic Roubaix velodrome as a special moment in their career.

In 2014 Niki Terpstra of the Netherlands added his name to the illustrious roll call of winners and became only the sixth Dutchman to raise the cobblestone winner's prize in the centre of the Roubaix velodrome.

Paris-Roubaix 2024: How to Watch a UCI World Tour Cycling Livestream for Free

The world's best riders take on the Queen of the Classics.

The UCI World Tour heads to the rugged roads of northern France this weekend for the 2024 edition of the Paris-Roubaix. 

Widely regarded as the toughest one-day race on the road cycling calendar, Paris-Roubaix features some of the most grueling cobblestone stretches on any of the Spring Classics. The peloton's ordeal eventually concludes after almost 160 miles in the iconic velodrome in Roubaix.

Last year's event saw Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) claim victory in the men's race while Alison Jackson (EF Education-Cannondale) was the 2023 women's race winner. 

Below, we'll outline the best  live TV streaming services  to use to watch the Paris-Roubaix live wherever you are in the world.

The 256.6km one-day race is known as "The Hell of the North," and these cobblestones might give you a clue as to why.

Paris-Roubaix 2024: Where and when is it?

The 2024 Paris Roubaix Femmes takes place on Saturday, April 6, at 1:35 p.m. CET local time, making it a 7:35 a.m. ET or 4:35 a.m. PT start in the US . For viewers in the UK it's a 12:35 p.m. BST start , while in Australia the action begins at 9:35 p.m. AEST .

How to watch the Paris-Roubaix 2024 online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the race locally, you may need a different way to watch -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. 

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to what you want to watch. If your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our  Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN , make it really easy to do this. 

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming Paris-Roubaix 2024 using a VPN 

• With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming the 2024 Paris-Roubaix live may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
• If you're having trouble after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend  Brave .

How to Watch Paris – Roubaix: Stream UCI WorldTour Cycling Live, TV Channel

Mathieu van der Poel leads the field on the UCI WorldTour into Paris – Roubaix today. Watch it live for free on Fubo today.

One of the toughest events on the UCI WorldTour, Paris – Roubaix, is up next on the calendar today with some of the best cyclists in the world. The cyclist to beat today is Mathieu van der Poel, who is coming off a win at the Tour of Flanders. In that race van der Poel was as dominant as ever and looks to build on that momentum here today in Paris. His biggest competition is not in the field with Wout van Aert recovering from injury and Tadej Pogacar not in action today. The Dutch World Champion, van der Poel, is in a position to win back-to-back races and continue his dominance this year on the UCI WorldTour.

How to Watch Paris – Roubaix today:

Game Date: April 7, 2024

Game Time: 9:00 a.m. ET

Live stream Paris – Roubaix on Fubo: Start with your free trial today!

The Paris – Roubaix race is a unique one on the UCI WorldTour. Most races present hills, mountains and climbs to challenge the cyclists, but here in the Paris – Roubaix it is mostly a flat race with long stretches for the cyclists to navigate.

This race is 161 miles long for the cyclists to power through through small farm town roads and across farm lands. The race is dubbed the “Hell of the North” by cyclists due to the cobbled roads that roughly one fifth of the race is paved with. 

An adjustment for this year’s race is a new path that has eliminated the infamous stretch through the Arenberg Forest. Over the years that has caused many injuries and ended the Paris – Roubaix for countless cyclists. Now there are a few new turns added to the course to avoid that stretch giving this year’s race a fresh look and feel.

Regional restrictions may apply.

Paris-Roubaix live stream 2022: how to watch UCI WorldTour cycling from anywhere

One of the toughest one-day races returns to its spring slot in the cycling calendar

L'enfer du Nord (The Hell of the North), returns this weekend to its familiar April setting. Paris-Roubaix is the cobbliest, most-storied and, in the minds and behinds of many, widely regarded as the most brutal of the Classics thanks to its extensive sapping cobbled sections. The race is the third monument of the men's 2022 season following Milan-Sanremo and Tour of Flanders. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 Paris-Roubaix live stream online today from anywhere.

When: Sunday, April 17

With steady rain expected before and during the event, this year's race looks set to be another seriously messy affair.

Reigning men's champion Wout van Aert has been ruled out thanks to a positive covid test, potentially creating an opportunity for runner-up Tom Pidcock, alongside his teammate and past winner Michał Kwiatkowski.

Tom Dumoulin, Tiesj Benoot, and Christophe Laporte meanwhile round out an impressive looking Jumbo-Visma line up that will be expecting a strong showing on Saturday.

UCI Road World Championships 2024: Everything you need to know

Canyon riders mathieu van der poel and chloe dygert are set to defend their respective rainbow bands at the 2024 uci road world championships in september. find out everything you need to know about their prospects in zurich, plus how to watch and when it’s on..

The UCI Road World Championships return in September 2024, with routes in and around the Swiss city of Zurich. Defending men’s road race World Champion Mathieu van der Poel will have his work cut out in the defence of his crown, while two-time ITT World Champion Chloe Dygart will look to secure a third triumph on an equally demanding course.  

UCI Road World Championships 2024 in numbers

For the tenth time in history, the UCI Road World Championships head to Switzerland in 2024 with 12 events running from 22-29 September in and around the city of Zurich in the heart of the Swiss Alps.  

All eyes will be on Canyon’s emblematic rider Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Deceuninck as he bids to defend his rainbow jersey on a challenging course that features over 4,000m of climbing. The Dutchman soloed to glory in Glasgow from a field of 196 riders in 2023 in a race where just 50 other riders reached the finish. But Van der Poel will need to pull out all the stops this September on a 273.9km course that culminates with seven hilly laps of a tough 26.8km city circuit around Zurich.  

Poland’s Kasia Niewiadoma of Canyon//SRAM will look to return to the podium three years after taking a bronze medal in the women’s road race in Flanders in 2021. Meanwhile, the American Chloe Dygert, also of Canyon//SRAM, bids to take a third individual time trial title after doubling up in Glasgow in 2023.  

One hundred and one years after Zurich first hosted the World Championships, the Swiss city brings the world’s best riders together for a fourth time. All in all, there will be 12 events including elite road races and time trials, as well as junior and under 23 categories. Also running over the same period, but starting a day earlier, are the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships. 

In total, around 1,000 riders from about 75 nations will gather in Zurich for the UCI Road World Championships, joined by 300 athletes from almost 50 countries who will compete for honours on their tandems, handbikes, tricycles or racing bikes at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships. 

When is the UCI Road World Championships 2024?

The exciting program of 12 events runs from Sunday 22 September 2024 to Sunday 29 September 2024. The schedule is as follows: 

• 22 September 2024 : women and men elite individual time trials 
• 23 September 2024 : men junior and under 23 individual time trials 
• 24 September 2024 : women junior individual time trial 
• 25 September 2024 : men elite and women elite team time trial mixed relays 
• 26 September 2024 : women and men junior roaned races 
• 27 September 2024 : men under 23 road race 
• 28 September 2024 : women elite road race 
• 29 September 2024 : men elite road race 

A total of 53 road races and para-cycling contests will also take place from Saturday 21 September 2024 to Sunday 29 September 2024. 

Where is the UCI Road World Championships 2024

Sandwiched between championships in Glasgow, United Kingdom and the first ever UCI World Championships in Africa, at Kigali in Rwanda, Zurich hosts the World Championships for the fourth time in history. The Swiss city will hold the time trial events while the road races will run through the neighbouring Alpine foothills before finishing in Zurich. 

Brief history and main storylines 

Alejandro Valverde triumphed in the elite men's road race at the 2018 UCI World Championships, capturing his first world title. The Spanish cyclist secured the victory in a thrilling sprint finish, solidifying his place among the sport's greats after years of near-misses at the championships. 

In 2023, the men’s road race in Glasgow was won by the flying Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Deceuninck aboard his Aeroad .  

Van der Poel rode clear of a select group of favourites with a huge attack on a steep climb more than 20km from the finish line. Despite a late crash on a tight corner, the 29-year-old held on to win by the best part of two minutes. It was his first world title on the road after being crowned cyclocross World Champion six times.  

Although one of the best puncheurs in the peloton, Van der Poel may find the sheer volume of climbing in Zurich a bridge too far in his bid for a second successive crown. But the Canyon figurehead has a knack of rising to the occasion and it would be folly to rule out a rider in such a rich and prolonged vein of form. Prior to the Tour de France, Van der Poel won three of his seven races, including a double over the cobblestones of Flanders and Roubaix. Talk about panache! 

In the women’s road race, Kasia Niewiadoma of Canyon//SRAM will look to build on her solid season on a course that plays to her strengths. Winner of La Flèche Wallonne, runner-up in the Tour of Flanders, and fifth in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Polish puncheuse has shown she can excel over tough, hilly courses this season. A bronze medalist in 2021, Niewiadoma will be eyeing a return to the podium in Zurich. She’s also also the current UCI Gravel World Champion , which may give her that extra bit of confidence – having won the rainbow bands once already.  

Niewiadoma’s Canyon//SRAM team-mate Chloe Dygert will also be among the favourites in the women’s individual time trial. Four years after her breakthrough victory in Yorkshire, the American doubled up with a gold medal at Glasgow after battling back from a career-threatening crash in 2020. All talk will be of a potential rainbow hat-trick for the 27-year-old this September.   

UCI Road World Championships 2024 routes

It’s easy to see why the route of the men’s road race has been compared to Liège-Bastogne-Liège given its 273.9km length and total elevation of 4,470 meters. Starting northwest of Zurich in Winterthur, the race kicks off with an undulating northerly loop around the Alpine foothills before heading south via three moderate climbs. 

After 85km the riders will cross the finish line beside Lake Zurich to start the first of seven 26.8km laps. Each lap incorporates two significant climbs – with a maximum gradient of almost 16% – and several smaller ramps. The finish line comes after a flat 2km section following the descent from the last climb. 

The women’s elite riders will complete four laps of the same circuit at the end of a 157.6km race that starts to the east of Zurich in Uster.  

With so much climbing in the parcours, it will be interesting to see if riders opt for the pure speed of the Aeroad, the bike that van der Poel won on last season, or the perfectly balanced all-round performance of the Ultimate . 

The historic open-air Oerlikon Velodrome hosts the start of the men’s individual time trial. The 46.1km race of truth is mainly flat yet still has a total elevation gain of 413 meters. Four short hills of varying difficulty come at the halfway point of the course ahead of the flat run to the finish along the shores of the picturesque Lake Zurich. The women’s 29.9km course starts in Gossau with a shorter ride ahead of the same four hills and flat finale.  

More details of the routes and profiles for each of the 12 events during the UCI Road World Championships 2024 are available on the official Zurich 2024 website .

What do the riders say?

Mathieu van der Poel has been taking each race as it comes during a pared-back but highly successful season in cycling’s most iconic jersey. Back during the winter break, he said: “I just want to enjoy my year in the rainbow jersey and confirm all the good things I did in 2023."  

After the Tour de France in July, the Dutchman will target the Olympics before weighing up his options ahead of the World Championships. 

What to expect at the UCI Road World Championships 2024

Catching a glimpse of future stars in the making – as well as riders from all over the globe – are among the main appeals of the UCI Road World Championships thanks to a busy program that also includes junior and under 23 events. But it’s the elite men and women who grab most attention – and all eyes will be on van der Poel in his bid to secure the rainbow bands for the second successive season.  

The World Championships also create a fascinating dynamic that is uncommon to road cycling, with riders competing in national teams rather than for their professional squads. That means riders from different trade teams, using different bikes, unified in their effort to represent their country.  

It also leads to uneven team sizes, with the best-performing countries according to the UCI rankings being given more spots on the start list than other, smaller nations. This can sometimes give the Championships a ‘closed’ feeling, with the same strong nations typically doing well and less-established countries relegated to chasing breakaways. You have to look back to 2009 to find a men’s road race champion who did not come from Europe. On the women’s side it has been 44 years since a non-European won the road race at Worlds.  

Canyon at the UCI Road World Championships

The road race routes in Zurich are far hillier than those in Glasgow last year where Canyon athletes scooped 12 gold medals and recorded 23 podium places, so, the swashbuckling Dutch defending champion will have his work cut out. 

Other Canyon riders to keep a look out for in the men’s road race include Italian climber Davide Formolo of Team Movistar and his trade team-mate Enric Mas, the Spaniard who has finished runner-up in La Vuelta no less than three times.  

If you tune in early, you may even catch a glimpse of local rider Silvan Dillier of Alpecin-Deceuninck, who will look to get into the breakaway on his home roads in Switzerland.  

After such a successful Ardennes campaign, Niewiadoma should be a serious contender in the women’s road race, while trade team-mate Dygert will be among the favorites for time trial glory. Dygert’s career was on the line after sustaining horrific injuries in a high-speed crash as she sought to defend her 2019 world title in Italy in 2020. An historic third win would cap an extraordinary comeback for the American. 

It’s also worth keeping tabs on a third Canyon//SRAM rider in Zoe Bäckstedt . While it is not yet known if Bäckstedt will compete in the elite or under 23 categories, the 19-year-old Briton was the double junior champion in 2022 and has the pedigree for success (her father, Magnus, won Paris-Roubaix in 2004). 

How to watch the UCI Road World Championships 2024

The UCI Road World Championships are readily available across several platforms, including the UCI’s own website and YouTube channel as well as international broadcasters such as Discovery (which includes Eurosport). Terrestrial channels – such as the BBC in the United Kingdom and Sporza in Belgium – often also air the headline events.  

Can’t wait for September for a fix of the world’s best road racers? Check out our guides to the men’s Tour de France 2024 and the Tour de France Femmes kicking off in July!

Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen launches well-timed sprint ahead of Girmay for stage 10 victory

Ackermann third as Van Aert one spot off podium in Saint-Amand-Montrond bunch finish

After all the controversy and disappointment of the first week, Jasper Philipsen got back in the wins at the Tour de France on stage 10 following a textbook lead-out from World Champion Mathieu van der Poel and Alpecin-Deceuninck.

Finally the win came for the best sprinter from last year’s Tour, with him hitting the wind in the final few hundred metres and the difference in power was so obvious, with a clear gap to second-placed Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) at the line, who continued a great run of form ahead of Pascal Ackermann (Israel-Premier Tech) in third.

Alpecin led through the final few important corners, albeit with some infiltration from Christophe Laporte (Visma-Lease a Bike) who was guiding Wout van Aert, but after not getting it quite right on the four sprint opportunities last week, they guided Philipsen perfectly to his seventh Tour de France stage victory.

“Last week was not a great week. It was an endless week for us, with some bad luck, of course, but I'm really happy and big relief. We can finally show our strength together with the lead-out train. I think, yeah, we did finally what we came for, and yeah, we could line it up. It was a perfect job from the team,” said a relieved Philipsen post-race, with big praise for his teammates.

“We know with the corner was quite tricky, but we had everything. Everybody was growing during this Tour. Maybe we didn't start in our very best shape, but we all feel healthy, we feel good. I'm really happy we can start the second week with a win and still some nice stages to come.”

With Girmay managing second, it is making a repeat green jersey win for the Belgian look less likely with every flat finish, but he’ll only be focused on getting more wins and adding to the seven he already has.

“[Girmay] is doing a really strong Tour so far. He's a lot of points ahead, so I think we just try to focus on a stage win, which we just succeeded,” said Philipsen. “Now we’re just looking forward for the next stages, and we’ll try as much as possible. Then we see where we can get.”

Behind Philipsen and the sprinters was a bunch that almost enjoyed a second rest day for 95% of the 187.3km on stage 10. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) arrived safely to hold onto the yellow jersey alongside second-placed Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and the rest of the GC favourites.

Their time will come on tomorrow’s stage 11 as the race heads into the Massif Central for a brutally tough mountain day and the first of the second week, with 211km concluding with a backloaded climbing finish to Le Lioran after taking on over 4,000 metres of elevation gain.

How it unfolded

As racing resumed for the second week at the Tour de France, the effects from an exhilarating but grueling first nine stages were perhaps taking their toll, with no takers for the early breakaway upon race director Christian Prudhomme waving the flag at kilometre zero.

It was all smiles and chatting in the peloton for much of the opening phase heading south from Orléans, with the host broadcaster even tagging swans swimming away from the roads as Pogačar and Vingegaard while they waited for action.

The intermediate sprint in Romorantin-Lanthenay offered up a chance to accelerate with Kobe Goossens (Intermarché-Wanty) getting up the road with Harm Vanhoucke (Lotto Dstny). The pair were chased momentarily by another trio of Kevin Geniets, Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) and Brent Van Moer (Lotto Dstny) but the Alpecin-Deceuninck-led peloton reeled them in before the sprint at 130km to go.

Goossens and Vanhoucke mopped up the maximum points as the former’s teammate Girmay looked to defend his lead of the green jersey in the sprint. The double stage winner tried to kick out of Philipsen’s wheel and up his inside but was squeezed and forced to brake due to the barriers narrowing.

With the Belgian looking ominously quick and that stress point over, calmness returned to the 172 riders still at the Tour, where they rode at a pace much slower than the projected fastest for almost the next 70 kilometres.

Crosswind action was possible on exposed roads throughout the Centre-Val de Loire region but didn’t come into the minds of the teams until the 59km to go mark, where a key left-hand turn through Issoudun got everyone nervous.

GC teams and those with sprinters got towards the front in anticipation of the change of direction, with UAE, Visma and Astana all among the most active teams on the front.

The pace was upped near to 70 kph and the bunch was strung out, but flags on the roadside showed the wind wasn’t nearly strong enough for echelons. When the turn was made and everyone realised it wasn’t possible, speeds dropped by 20 kph.

Again calmness was restored with all eyes on the final run towards Saint-Amand-Montrond and the final few kilometres of stage 10, where key corners would decide the winner of the day’s action.

Six kilometres from the line brought a small uncategorised climb into play where no one was dropped, but such was the speed off the descent that the peloton was lining out and riders started to struggle. Philipsen lost position momentarily but found his way back onto the part of Alpecin’s train where Van der Poel was.

With the final approach no unfolding, the washing machine effect was well in play at the front of the peloton, with the likes of EF Education-EasyPost and Israel-Premier Tech occupying the top spots as the race reached Saint-Amand-Montrond.

But as the crucial trio of corners arrived in the final 2km, the grey double-denim and rainbow bands of Alpecin-Deceuninck’s lead-out train appeared, doing what they did so well in 2023 and moving up to pole position ahead of the final sprint.

Philipsen in prime position proved that the speed was definitely not lost as when he launched his final kick, he moved away from those in his slipstream and powered to the line to open the second week at the 2024 Tour de France with a bang.

Paris 2024 Olympic road race and time trial courses

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games road races and time trials start and finish in the heart of the famous city.

The day after the opening ceremony, on the 27 July, the men's and women's time trials take place on a 32.4km route into Paris, before the road races take place the next weekend, the men's on the 4 August and the women's on the 3 August.

The road races are lumpy affairs without being suited to the pure climbers, as the Tokyo course was three years ago. Instead, this is more on for the puncheurs , those that rise to the top at the Tour of Flanders and Liège-Bastogne-Liège .

The favourites, then, will be the likes of Lotte Kopecky (Belgium), Elisa Longo Borghini (Italy), Mathieu van der Poel (Netherlands), and Wout van Aert (Belgium). 

The men's road race is 273km long with 2,800 metres of climbing, while the women's is 158 kilometres long with 1,700 metres of climbing. Both time trials take place over a 32.4km route which barely takes in any climbing.

Men's road race

The 237km-long men's road race sees 13 categorised climbs adding up to 2,800m of climbing; this means slightly less distanced covered, but with a bit more altitude added in. It is not a flat day, but neither is it a climber's course.

The men's peloton is just 90 riders strong, with teams having a maximum of four each, so it will be a lot less tactical that trade team racing, and more of a race of feel and strength.

The race essentially takes in three loops, two giant ones to the west of the city, before returning into the centre for a circuit around Montmartre.

The key climbs include the 1.9km Côte des Gardes (6%), the Côte de Saint-Germain En-Laye (1.1km at 5.5%), the Côte des Mesnuls (1.1km at 6.1%), the Côte de Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse (1.3km at 6.3%), and the Côte de Bièvres (1.2km at 6.5%). The Côte du Pavé des Gardes is tackled in the opposite direction with 68km to go, which is 1.3km at 6.5%, but with ramps up to 9%.

The finish is flat, but it follows three times of the 18.4km finishing circuit, taking on the Côte de la Butte Montmartre (1km at 6.5%), the last with just 9.5km remaining before the medals are decided.

Women's road race

The women's road race, at 158km long with 1,700m of climbing, again is slightly shorter than the Tour of Flanders, but with quite a bit more climbing. There are nine categorised climbs, according to the organisers.

It's much the same as the men's route, just with one of the giant loops cut off, and takes in the same Montmartre circuit at the finish.

The key climbs are the Côte des Gardes (1.9km at 6%) and the Côte de Port-Royal (1km at 5.5%), followed by the Côte de Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse (1.3km at 6.3%).

The Montmartre circuit with the Côte de la Butte Montmartre (1km at 6.5%) is tackled twice before a flat finish.

Time trials

The men's and women's time trials both use exactly the same 32.4km route, which barely takes in any climbing. It is a course for the pure rouleurs , the likes of Ellen van Dijk (Netherlands) and Josh Tarling (GB). 

They begin and finish in central Paris, by Invalides. The course heads east to the Bois de Vincennes, with the tightest corners near the Vélodrome Jacques Anquetil, before an incredibly straight final 5km. Power will win out.

Taylor Knibb Resigns from Paris 2024 Olympic Road Race, Kristen Faulkner to Represent Team USA

Faulkner will compete in the Olympic Road Race and Team Pursuit at Paris 2024, and Knibb will race the Time Trial and Triathlon events.

USA Cycling announced today an update to the Paris 2024 Olympic Road Race roster.

Heading into Paris, USA Cycling earned two spots in the women’s road cycling events. Chloé Dygert (Brownsburg, Ind.; CANYON//SRAM Racing) earned her spot for the Games after winning the 2023 UCI Time Trial World Championships, qualifying her for both the Time Trial and Road Race. In May of 2024, professional triathlete Taylor Knibb (Washington, D.C.; Trek Factory Racing) won the 2024 USA Cycling Time Trial National Championships, automatically qualifying her for the last spot in the Time Trial and Road Race. However, this week Knibb resigned from her position in the Road Race, opting instead to focus on the Time Trial and Triathlon events.

In light of this decision, 2024 USA Cycling Road Race National Champion Kristen Faulkner (Homer, Alaska; EF-Oatly-Cannondale) has been selected to join Dygert in the Road Race. Faulkner has quickly risen to the top of the international ranks in women’s road cycling, winning three Grand Tour stages over the past two years.

In addition to the Road Race on August 4, Dygert and Faulkner will compete in the Women’s Team Pursuit, with qualifying starting on August 6.

Athletes to watch

The start list for this Cup is stacked with the best of the best, as the top three men and first and third ranked women on the UCI’s world leaderboard for the Olympic class will be going head-to-head in their respective divisions.

For the women, all eyes will be on Switzerland’s Alessandra Keller, who currently sits ranked as world number one, and Dutch breakout star Puck Pieterse .

Keller won the individual World Cup in 2022 and took the cross-country short track world title the same year. According to the Swiss Cycling Team’s Instagram , she will be representing her country in Paris at the Olympic Games in less than one month.

Recently dropping from a second place ranking to third, 22-year-old Pieterse sits just 29 points behind France’s three-time Olympian Pauline Ferrand-Prevot , who will not be competing at this event. The Dutch cyclist took three individual wins at XC World Cups in 2023 and boasts two European U23 titles.

Switzerland’s dominance on the world rankings is not just in the women’s division, as Swiss Olympic champion Nino Schurter holds the top spot on the world leaderboard for the men. He is also set to represent his country in Paris after racing in Haute-Savoie, according to the team’s Instagram.

Going up against the world leader in the men’s race is USA’s world number two Riley Amos and France’s two-time Olympian Victor Koretzky , who sits one place below Amos on the leaderboard. Both of these athletes will turn their attention to Paris 2024 following this race.
