The Paris-Roubaix of 2021 has not yet been celebrated (it will be next October 3) and the organizer of the race, ASO, is already thinking about the 2022 edition. And it turns out that the original date of Sunday April 10 cannot be kept due to the French presidential elections.
By 2022, in consultation with the UCI, Sunday April 10th was set. However, it has now been decided to place the first round of the presidential elections on that date.. According to government guidelines in France, no major sporting event (such as the Roubaix) can and should be organized.
That is, those responsible for the Hell of the North they will have to find a new place on the calendar. According to Sporza, ASO is studying various options. It could collide with the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday April 17 … or take it to Monday 18. A second possibility is Saturday 16, one day before the Amstel Gold Race. The women would run in the morning and the men in the afternoon.
