2021 Paris–Roubaix Femmes

The 2021 Paris–Roubaix Femmes was a French road cycling one-day race that took place on 2 October 2021. It was the first edition of Paris–Roubaix Femmes and the 16th event of the 2021 UCI Women's World Tour. The race was won by Lizzie Deignan of Great Britain, who attacked solo at the beginning of the very first cobbled section, with more than two thirds of the course remaining. The winning move went so early, live pictures had not yet begun to be broadcast. Already an historic event as the inaugural women's Roubaix, Deignan's solo victory was later described by commentators as one of the greatest Roubaix rides, male or female, of all time. With the victory, Deignan became the first rider to win all three women's monuments - Paris-Roubaix Femmes, Women's Tour of Flanders and Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes.
