Paris-Roubaix, known as both the 'Queen of the Classics' and 'The Hell of the North', is cycling’s most punishing one-day spectacle. Each year, the world’s strongest riders test their limits on Northern France’s brutal cobblestones, where chaos, crashes and sheer willpower define the race. Victory here isn’t just about strength — it’s about survival, luck and the ability to conquer roads that have humbled even the greatest champions.

On paper Van de Poel is still HOT favourite to make it three in a row but with Pogačar now riding we could witness an explosive showdown the likes we have never seen before.This year there will be even more cobbles with 30 sectors instead of last year’s 29 covering a total of 53.7 kilometres, counting down from 30 - 1 as the race closes in on the famous velodrome in Roubaix.

Starting in Compiegne the race distance is a huge 259.2 kilometres but it’s the cobbled stretches that really count and especially the five star sectors such as Mons-en-Pévèle (#11), the Carrefour de l’Arbre (#3) and the dreaded Trouée d’Arenberg (#19) which is where the favourites will all want to be right at the front.Aside from Van der Poel and hopefully Pogačar the other key player to look out for is of course Wout Van Aert (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), who is desperate to win this race before he retires, DESPERATE.

After crashing early on in the season last year he will be hoping he has better luck in 2025 and can arrive in the form of his life. Some of the other big names who will be dreaming of victory are Mads Pedersen and Jonathan Milan (Lidl - Trek), Filippo Ganna and Josh Tarling (INEOS Grenadiers) and Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates - XRG)Read on to see how to catch the action from wherever you live.FREE Paris-Roubaix 2025 live streamsIn Belgium, France, Italy and The Netherlands you can look forward to a FREE Paris-Roubaix 2025 live stream because Sporza / RTBF (Belgium) FranceTV (France) Rai (Italy) and NOS (Netherlands) are all showing the action for free.
