Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) will return to Paris-Roubaix this Sunday with more history in his sights, one year on from his explosive debut over the pavé of northern France, where a late crash saw him finish second in the iconic Velodrome behind Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech).
So far in 2026, he's won all three of his race appearances, at Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo and the Tour of Flanders last Sunday, but even his team described Roubaix as "his ultimate test."
