Tadej Pogačar got the biggest applause on the podium in Compiègne at the Paris-Roubaix team presentation on Saturday afternoon, the French crowd hoping he can light-up the race like has done so often at other races during his distinguished career.
Pogačar is making his professional Paris-Roubaix debut on Sunday. He raced the Junior Paris-Roubaix twice and has raced on the French pave during the Tour de France, but taking on all the 259km of Paris-Roubaix, 55km on cobbles, is another matter.
