Grace Brown: We don't need Arenberg to make Paris-Roubaix Femmes significant

Grace Brown and FDJ-SUEZ preview the course at Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2023

There has been increasing discussion about why Trouée d'Arenberg has not been introduced to Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, but Grace Brown says that the pavé sectors, as a collective, are more important to the route than just one - even one as iconic as the Arenberg.

Organisers ASO have indicated that it is still "too dangerous" to include the Arenberg Forest in the women's route due to its proximity to the start in Denain. However, with careful route changes and additional pavè sectors added earlier in the race, the women's event could cross the five-star sector in future editions.
