A year after the surprise victory of Canadian Alison Jackson, unknown to the battalion before taming the Hell of the North, the queens of women’s cycling are back on the cobbles of the North, Saturday April 6. Between Denain and Roubaix, 17 paved sectors (i.e. 29.2 km) await the 144 runners along the 148.5 kilometers of racing (compared to 145.4 km last year), for the fourth women’s edition of the Queen of Classics .
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime), world champion jersey on her shoulders, is the big favorite at the start, she who dreams loud and clear of winning Paris-Roubaix. But the Belgian will have to deal with a pack of long-toothed adversaries, starting with the legend Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a bike), without forgetting Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) and the Frenchwoman Victoire Berteau (Cofidis).
