Paris – Roubaix

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The race ends in the Velodrome in Roubaix

Paris – Roubaix is one of the most famous classic one-day races in road cycling and is one of the five monuments of cycling . The sections on cobblestones ( pavé sectors ) are characteristic of the approximately 250-kilometer race .

The race, first held in 1896, takes place annually on a Sunday in mid-April in northern France and is known as The Queen of the Classics (La Reine des Classiques), or the Hell of the North (L'Enfer du Nord). The name Hell of the North got the race after the First World War , which devastated the region in which the race takes place.

Since 1977 is spring classics no longer in Paris , but around 80 km north, in front of the palace in Compiegne , started. The finish is in the Velodrome of Roubaix .

The race is organized by the Amaury Sport Organization (ASO), which also organizes the Tour de France .

history

100 francs share of the SA du Vélodrome de Roubaix on March 3, 1899

A forerunner of today's Roubaix cycle track , the "Vélodrome roubaisien", was built in the Parc Barbieux in 1895 and was the site of numerous track races such as the French stay-up championships and the Bol d'Or in the following years . Two entrepreneurs from Roubaix, Theo Vienne and Maurice Pérez, had initiated the construction of the 333.33-meter-long runway and finally the idea of ​​organizing a race that would end on this velodrome: Paris-Roubaix . They turned to the editor-in-chief of the French cycling magazine Le Vélo , Paul Rousseau . He sent his colleague Victor Breyer to explore the route. As far as Amiens , Breyer drove with a colleague in the car, the next day by bike. When he got to Roubaix he was so dirty and frozen that he thought of canceling the race. But after a bath and a good dinner he changed his mind, it is reported, and the first edition of Paris – Roubaix was held in 1896.

The first edition of the 1896 race took place on April 19, 1896 with 48 participants; It was won by the German Josef Fischer , and he remained the only German Paris – Roubaix winner until John Degenkolb's victory in 2015 . The two Belgians Roger De Vlaeminck , who celebrated his four triumphs on the Roubaix Velodrome between 1972 and 1977 (and received a trophy in the shape of a cobblestone), and Tom Boonen achieved the most victories in the Hell of the North with four wins each in the period from 2005 to 2012. With five wins in six years, the Mapei team dominated the cobblestone classic in the second half of the 1990s . Twice (1996 and 1998) the team was even able to occupy all three podium places.

Until 1923, the race took place annually on Easter Sunday , which is why it was nicknamed La Pascale . In the first years it took place behind pacemakers (bicycles or motorcycles), from 1898 to 1900 these were automobiles. In 1908 and 1909, pacemakers were only permitted up to Beauvais and were forbidden from 1910 onwards.

From 1989 until the end of the 2004 season, Paris – Roubaix was part of the ten-race cycling World Cup, and from 2005 it was part of the newly introduced UCI ProTour , a series of the most important cycling races of the year, for three seasons . The race has been part of the UCI WorldTour successor series since 2011 . The route from Paris - Roubaix changes only marginally from year to year.

Every two years, the Vélo Club Roubaix organizes an edition for everyone , in which, in addition to partial routes of 120 or 190, or even the complete route of the professional race of around 260 kilometers, with the goal in the Vélodrome in Roubaix , can be completed on the original course .

The French sports journalist Jacques Goddet regarded the professional race Paris – Roubaix as “a last remnant from the heroic past, the last link to tradition to which cycling owes its greatness”.

In February 2019 it became known that the junior competition of the Le Pavé de Roubaix race , which is not organized by the ASO but by the VC Roubaix , may not take place for financial reasons. John Degenkolb , winner of the elite race in 2015 , then launched a fundraising campaign and contributed 2,500 euros himself. Thanks to his initiative, the event could be secured.

In 2020, the race was initially canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic . At the beginning of May it was announced that the race would be postponed to October 25th and that a race for women would also be held for the first time. Due to the increasing number of infections in the metropolitan region of Lille , to which Roubaix also belongs, the race was finally canceled in October 2020 and the next edition planned for April 11, 2021. On April 1, 2021, the first staging of the women's race was postponed to October 2 and the men's race to October 3, 2021.

Pavé sectors

Characteristic of the classic, which takes place on completely flat terrain, are the famous pavés , cobblestone passages : paths - some dating back to the 19th century - with coarse cobblestones, which make the race an extraordinary ordeal, especially in wet conditions and diffuse lighting. Originally the cobblestones were the usual road surface in northern France; But after these streets were increasingly paved, the organizers decided in 1967 to integrate cobblestone passages on field and forest paths into the race. Today, many pavés are given by the French government especially for the classic bike ride. The Les Amis de Paris – Roubaix association has been trying since 1977 to preserve and restore cobblestone passages, develop new sections and secure them for the race.

When planning the route for the first race in 1896, Victor Breyer tried to avoid cobblestone passages, called Belgian blocks , because they wanted to run an "easy" race - "easy" as opposed to the previous "monster races" over several a hundred kilometers, such as Bordeaux – Paris . The pavés could only be found for the last 30 kilometers, where the racing drivers drove over sidewalks to avoid them. “The cobblestones that have been added to the route today are grimmer and more primitive than the roads that were driven 100 years ago. Today's classic Paris – Roubaix is the reconstruction of a past that never existed. "

Probably the most notorious pavé section is the one through the forest of Wallers -Arenberg, the Trouée d'Arenberg , which often resulted in a preliminary decision after two thirds of the 250 km long race. In 2005, part of the pavement was extensively restored, the section as a whole somewhat defused; it has nevertheless retained its rating as a 5-star section (highest level of difficulty). In the similarly difficult pavé sections of Mons-en-Pévèle and Carrefour de l'Arbre , which follow in the last racing district, a preliminary decision is also often made.

During the 111th edition in 2013, the drivers had to negotiate a total of 27 cobblestone passages. The sectors are divided into categories 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest level of difficulty. The decisive factor for the categorization is the condition of the cobblestones, the length of the section and also the location in the race. In 2013 the forest of Arenberg , Mons-en-Pévèle and the Carrefour de l'Arbre were classified in category 5. A total of 52.6 kilometers of cobblestones had to be overcome.
