Tadej Pogačar has won three of cycling's five Monuments and his hope of adding one more appears to be significantly increased after the reigning World Champion set Strava course records on three sectors of Paris-Roubaix's pavé on Wednesday.
Pogačar arrived in Belgium on Tuesday ahead of the Tour of Flanders, but rather than warm up by racing Dwars door Vlaanderen, as did Wout van Aert and Mads Pedersen, he travelled to Troisville, France, to do a reconnaissance on the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix.
