Paris-Roubaix organizer ASO (Amaury Sport Organisation) has officially announced the ratings of 27 cobbled sectors in the 2013 edition of the race. This year the route is 254.5 km in total, and the peloton will have to ride on the cobbles a total of 52.6 km. Here are the Paris-Roubaix 2013 Route and Cobbled Sectors with ratings.

It will be the 111th edition of the “Queen of the Classics”, aka “Hell of North”. ASO president Christian Prudhomme and Jean-François Pescheux ranked all 52.6km of pavé (cobble).

The ratings of the Paris-Roubaix cobbles based on:

  1. The length of the sector
  2. The unevenness of the cobbles
  3. The overall conditions of the sectors and
  4. Their locations (at which km in the race, later is harder).
