Several of the cobbled sections are timed. You will be given your personal times but there will be no published ranking (between participants).

The race will take place on roads open to traffic. Therefore, you must respect the “Code de la Route” (French Highway Code). Marshals will be present along the route to remind riders that respecting traffic regulations is essential to the smooth running of the race.

Rigid helmets must be worn. The wearing of helmets (with the chin strap fastened) is mandatory at all times on the route. Any participant not wearing a helmet will be disqualified (his/her race number and number plate will be cancelled).

The time schedule allows the time when participants will cycle past different areas and will finish to be forecasted. The limited arrival time at the Roubaix velodrome is set at 3.45 p.m. due to the arrival of Paris-Roubaix Femmes scheduled for 4.45 p.m.

If you are unable to continue riding the route (due to bike breakdown), an emergency number will be available so that you can alert the race authorities. This number is +33 6.76.23.25.75. You will be picked up and taken to the finish.

Depending on the distance chosen, the races will start rue Lannoy, face to the Parc des Sports in Roubaix (70 and 145km) or in Denain (107km). More informations coming soon.

Feeding stations will be set up at established points along the route. You will find water, fresh fruit, dried fruit, savoury products, etc. there. No cup will be distributed, so remember to take your waterbottle.

Technical assistance will be available all along the route.

You must keep your waste (packaging, etc.) on you and throw it into the bins at the feeding stations. “Eco-cyclist” patrols will be present in the peloton. Their job is to remind you to respect the environment and they will also take note of the race number of any participant seen deliberately throwing litter on the ground. These participants will be relegated.

This Personal Accident Insurance is offered by the organiser's insurer so that you are correctly covered during your participation in the Paris Roubaix Challenge 2021.

It is optional but is strongly recommended.

As you may know, the vast majority of your usual insurance policies (particularly your car insurance, insurance provided automatically through your bank cards, household insurance, bank loan insurance, etc.) totally exclude any participation in sports events either on an amateur or professional basis, and therefore exclude the risks involved in your taking part in the Paris Roubaix Challenge 2021.

It is therefore important that you check the extent of the cover provided by your normal insurance policies (and the exclusions) and, if you are not sufficiently covered or not covered at all, you should consider taking out the proposed insurance policies by clicking on the link below.

This insurance will cover you if you have an accident whilst taking part in the event, whether or not you were responsible and whether or not there is an identified responsible third party. You are only covered during the event from the time you cross the starting line until the time you cross the finishing line or you abandon the event.

In the event of an accident during your participation in the event, it covers:

• medical costs (within the limits that you have chosen),

• in the event of death or total or partial permanent disability (due to this accident): the payment of compensation (within the limits that you have chosen).

This cover Individual Accident is optional but highly recommended. It can be taken out in addition to any existing insurance you may already have or if you are not already covered. You may purchase the cover from the insurer of your choice, from your federation or from Aon, organizer’s broker, whose proposal (detailed notice and application form) can be consulted and downloaded by clicking on the link below.
