Previous winner | Alison Jackson (Can) EF Education-TIBCO-SVB |
Though originally added to the WorldTour calendar in October 2020, the inaugural edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. After being re-scheduled again, the first edition was finally held on October 2, 2021 where the women’s peloton raced across the pavés of northern France and finished in the famous Roubaix Velodrome.
The decision by the UCI and race organiser ASO to add the event to the calendar was a historic moment for women's cycling, as Paris-Roubaix is one of the world's most iconic Spring Classics, which began in 1896.
Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo) etched her name in the history books as the first winner of Paris-Roubaix Femmes. She attacked from the peloton 82.5km from the finish and rode solo across all 17 sectors of mud-covered, slippery cobblestones to claim victory and hoist the cobble trophy in the velodrome. Marianne Vos (Jumbo-Visma) chased to finish second while Deignan’s teammate Elisa Longo Borghini took third.
In 2022, Longo Borghini grabbed the title at Paris-Roubaix Femmes for Trek-Segafredo. The Italian national champion launched a solo attack on the Templeuve cobblestone sector number eight with 34 kilometres to go and claimed victory. Lotte Kopecky (Team SD Worx) finished second, and Lucinda Brand (Trek-Segafredo) was third.
Last year, Alison Jackson made history as the first Canadian to win Hell of the North. The EF Education-TIBCO-SVB rider won the breakaway sprint to secure the biggest victory of her career at the Roubaix Velodrome. Jackson was part of an original 18-rider breakaway that was reduced to seven riders by the end of the women's race. Katia Ragusa (Liv Racing TeqFind) was second and Marthe Truyen (Fenix-Deceuninck) rounded out the podium.
