The queen of the classics, Paris-Roubaix 2023, will take place this Sunday 9 April. For the 120th edition of the race, the organisor decided to modify the race route just a little bit compared to last year, for the cobble stones sections between Saint-Martin-sur-Écaillon and Thian: the sections Haussy and Saulzoir (which made its comeback last year) are removed, and the section from Haspres to Thiant (#21) is added. The race thus goes from 30 to 29 cobble stones sections and there will be 54.5 kilometers of cobbles which await the riders (compared to 54.8 last year). The total distance of the race is 256.6 kilometers.
In the Hell of the North a very small thing can come ruin the race for a rider or come at hand for another. Nothing's thus decided upfront, it'll be this Sunday on the cobbles that the whole story will be written!

The 29 cobble stones sections of Paris-Roubaix 2023

As previously, there will thus be 3 cobble stones sections which have 5 stars (the most difficult ones): the Trouée d'Arenberg (#19), Mons-en-Pévèle (#11) and the Carrefour de l'Arbre (#4). For the first of them, the Trouée d'Arenberg, an original and ecological solution was used this year to weed it: a herd of about forty goats has been assigned for grazing sessions in this forest lane.
