Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2027

The 2026 race was the sixth edition and ran 143.1 kilometers from Denain to the André-Pétrieux velodrome in Roubaix, with 20 cobbled sectors and 122 riders at the start. The first sector, from Solesmes to Haussy, came after 29.3 kilometers, the 3 kilometers of Mons-en-Pévèle after 94.5, and the Carrefour de l'Arbre 17 kilometers from the finish.

Franziska Koch made the race at Mons-en-Pévèle. The peloton was down to about 50 riders with 55 kilometers to go, and at Mons-en-Pévèle she attacked. Blanka Vas, Marianne Vos and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot came across to her, and the four built a lead of more than a minute.

Koch attacked again with 24 kilometers to go. Only Vos could follow, Vas was dropped, and Ferrand-Prévot, who rode for Visma-Lease a Bike like Vos, was back with them two kilometers later. With 4.5 kilometers left Koch and Vos went clear once more, and once more Ferrand-Prévot returned before the velodrome.

Koch, a German who was 25 and rode for FDJ United-SUEZ, took the inside line on the track and won the sprint from Vos, with Ferrand-Prévot third at six seconds. Lotte Kopecky was fourth, a minute and a half behind.
