Bernard Hinault has praised Tadej Pogčar for deciding to ride Paris-Roubaix, believing he can win the Hell of the North, just as the Frenchman did back in 1981.
“I raced Paris-Roubaix at the time because I was wearing the rainbow jersey and wanted to honour it. Who is the world champion now?” Hinault asked in an interview with French newspaper La Parisien.
