Paris-Roubaix Challenge – La Découverte

La Découverte is the entry point to the event: 70 km with 8 cobbled sectors, starting at the Parc des Sports in Roubaix with start slots between 09:00 and 10:30. The later start means no early alarm and no shuttle.

It is a practical way to find out what pavé feels like before committing to a longer distance, and the organiser presents it as the accessible option. Mandatory kit still applies, including a helmet, two spare inner tubes or sealant, a pump and a charged phone, and the route is on roads open to traffic.

Like every distance, it ends with a U-turn in the Roubaix velodrome, entering the track on the left.
