The 2025 Paris-Roubaix will see significant changes with the introduction of two new cobbled sectors and a new detour approach to the Forest of Arenberg for a safer race. Following a successful chicane implementation in 2024 that reduced speed and crashes, organizers have opted for a "small detour" featuring right-angle corners. The race will cover 259.2km, with 30 cobbled sectors, starting in Compiègne and finishing at the Roubaix velodrome on April 13, 2025.
For 2025, the speed-slowing method will head down a "small detour" instead of the chicane, which includes four right-angle corners in the final kilometre before the entrance to the cobbled miners' track that cuts straight through the thick forest.
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.
ASO agreed with a request from the riders to add a chicane at the entrance of the Forest of Arenberg for the 2024 race. The last-minute change sparked huge debate but worked.
The 2025 men's Paris-Roubaix will include a total of 30 cobbled sectors.
