The Queen of the Classics, Paris–Roubaix is the day when bikes and riders do battle not only against each other, but also against the 60-plus kilometres of eyeball-rattling cobblestones. For 2021, the Hell of the North is coming to you, courtesy of Team Qhubeka ASSOS, BMC Switzerland, Zwift, and ASSOS of Switzerland.

This 60-minute endorphin-rich event will simulate the final hour of racing, where the outcome can change in a matter of corners.

Flat, long and bike-destroyingly tough, this is not called the Hell of the North for nothing. A race that French and Belgian racers alike will destroy themselves to win, the relentless pounding that the sections of cobbles give to the rider is what makes this race amazing.
So, is this is a race?


No, not technically, but expect to sweat. It’s a 60-minute workout that brings the cobbles, crashes and drama to you. This one-off Roubaix special is designed to give you full immersion into the beauty of The Hell of the North. It is based on IRL power data from the final hour of racing, where the screw is slowly tightened as you hit back-to-back iconic sections.

We challenge all Zwifters to show their support for Team Qhubeka ASSOS this weekend, which represents the culmination of their cobbled classics campaign for 2021.

Make sure you have an up-to-date FTP ahead of the workout.
