The organisers of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix have brought back two sectors of the rough cobblestone roads that make the race famous for 2024, bringing the total distance raced over pavé to 55.7km - 3.2km more than last year and the most in the past ꦏ30 years.

Each year, the cobbled sectors are assigned numbers counting down to the final stretch just before the velodrome in Roubaix. As has been the case for years, there will be 29 sectors in 2024, with two returning roads at Briastre and Le Hameau du Buat slotting in at number🔥s 26 and 24, respectively. The Biastre sector was last included in 2019.

Race director Thierry Gouvenou explains, "The influence on the race scenario will not be immediate, but having long and difficult sections to start with makes the race tiring, and the consequences may ꦚbe felt later on."

It's only a minor change to the traditional route, which will be 259.9km long🌜 this year - 3.3km longer than in 2023.

After the first sector in Troisvilles, the race takes on the familiar cobbles from Viesly to Quiévy (#28) followed closely by the four-star Qui&eacut🤡e;vy to Saint-Python (#27) pavé. Rather ♐than turning left toward Saint-Python, this year, the race heads straight back to Viesly for the Biastre sector. The race will bypass the two-star Saint-Python sector and head through Solesmes toward the next difficulty in Vertain.

Sector #25 remains the same with t♎he 2.3km long Vertain-Saint-Martin-sur-Écaillon pavé. Rather than turn toward the Verchain-Maugré to Qu&eacut☂e;rénaing, the route heads in the opposite direction toward Capelle for the slightly uphill Le Hameau du Buat (Capelle-Ruesnes) sector (#24).

The 2024 Paris-Roubaix route꧙ sneaks in a stretch of pavé between Artres and Quérénaing (#23) at the familiar back-to-back three-star sectors (#22, #21) Quérénaing-Maing and Maing-Monchaux-sur-Écaillon.

This𒀰 year's edition cuts out the jaunt down to Haspres and the 1.7km three-star sector between it a🅺nd Thaint before rejoining the 2023 route ahead of the Haveluy (#20) pavé.

This sector is the last before the dreaded 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trouée d'Arenberg (#19) - the first five-star stretch that m✱arks the beg🅠inning of the end game.

From there, the route will be familiar to riders and viewers alike, with the same final 18 sectors that include the notable five-star Mons-en-Pévèle (#11) and the back-to-back Camphin-en-Pévèle (#4) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carrefour de l'Arbre (#3) before🐟 the finish in the Roubaix velodrome.
