Paris-Roubaix Canceled

Paris-Roubaix. It’s the best day of the year. And because it’s 2020, we don’t get it. Covid again. Bet it fucking rains on 25 October, when it was scheduled to take place.

The race will return on April 11, 2021. Unless Covid is still a thing. Here’s what they say:

---

At the request of the Préfet du Nord, Préfet des Hauts de France and following the Health Minister Olivier Véran’s announcement yesterday, that placed the Lille Metropolitan area on maximum alert, the 118th edition of Paris-Roubaix (UCI WorldTour) and the 1st edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes (UCI Women’s WorldTour), originally scheduled to take place on the 25th October, will not be organised. 

Paris-Roubaix, an incredibly popular event and one that is met with great enthusiasm every year, had already been postponed from its original 12th of April date following the containment measures put in place in spring to fight against the spread of COVID-19. 

We would like to warmly thank the communities and event partners who supported us in this postponement as well as those who were, like us, delighted to see the Queen of the Classics even in the autumn.  We will see you on the cobblestones on the 11th April 2021 to celebrate one of the greatest monuments in world cycling.
