Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2021
Oct 2, 2021
,The first-ever women’s edition of Paris-Roubaix was added to the Women’s WorldTour for October 25 in 2020, but was cancelled due to COVID-19. The first edition to be held will now take place on October 2, 2021, after a second cancellation from April of this year.
The UCI and ASO’s decision to add the event to the calendar last year was an historical moment for women’s cycling, as Paris-Roubaix is one of the world’s most iconic Spring Classics. The event this fall will be a day written into the history books for both women’s cycling and for the first winner of the Paris-Roubaix Femmes.
Last year, UCI President David Lappartient called the addition of Paris-Roubaix to the Women’s WorldTour a step toward equality with in the sport. “I believe that for women it is important to have the same opportunity for men.”
