Paris-Roubaix Femmes is certainly one of if not the most demanding races on the women's WorldTour calendar. The challenging cobbles sections take their toll on the body and bike and are a serious test for even the best equipment.
Canadian Alison Jackson took the win this year from an earlier breakaway topping the podium ahead of Katia Ragusa and Marthe Truyen respectively.
Cyclingnews was at the race and snapped a huge gallery of all the interesting tech and components choices used in the women's race. There are a mixture of tyre choices both tubular and tubeless, double-wrapped handlebar tape and the use of grip tape in key places like bottle cages, not to mention a rather special pair of pedals.
Grab a brew, take a seat, and scroll down to enjoy our tech tidbits from the women's race.
