Ever since Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) teased the cycling world with a video of his recon on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix on February 10, his possible participation at this season’s race has remained one of the biggest storylines to follow.
UAE staff members have denied that the Monument is on his programme for spring, and Pogačar himself has avoided talking about it at the UAE Tour. But, while full focus is currently on Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the start of the Classics, the world champion has added further fuel to the rumours, admitting on Friday that the recon he did changed his opinion of the race.
