Timing the cobbles: when Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Roubaix Femmes hit the key sectors

Cycling News maps out the timing for this year’s Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Roubaix Femmes: the men’s race starts at 10:50 CEST and the women’s at 14:35 CEST, with women’s coverage likely after the men finish and around 50–60km shown. The timeline highlights when both races reach famous cobble sectors (e.g., Solesmes–Haussy, Mons-en-Pévèle, Arenberg) and when the final Carrefour de l’Arbre sector captures the decisive action. Broadcasters vary by region (UK TNT Sports/HBO Max, US Peacock, Canada FloBikes, SBS Australia, FranceTV, Sporza Belgium), and live blogs will help fans track key moments if a full stream isn’t available.
