GP de Denain 2025

20.03

First held in 1959, GP Denain has grown into a key race on the northern French calendar and an early indicator for the cobbled classics. Often described as a “mini Paris Roubaix”, it is defined by its rough sectors and relentless second half. The race typically rewards riders who can handle repeated efforts on the cobbles and still have the strength to finish it off. Over the years, it has favoured powerful classics specialists and resilient sprinters. Winners such as Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen underline the mix of strength, positioning and speed needed to win in Denain.
