The riders who will be at the start of Paris-Roubaix in two weeks do not have to worry that the Slovenian will also appear there. Although he has indicated that he would like to win all five cycling monuments in his career (Milan-Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour of Lombardy), Paris-Roubaix is the only one this year. quintet not included in his programme.
The two-time Tour winner is only in northern France to prepare for the Tour de France, which this year includes a cobblestone stage. Just like in 2014, when Lars Boom won, the finish is in Arenberg.
A week after Paris-Roubaix, Pogacar is still leaving for Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where he is the most recent winner. A few days earlier he will start in the Waalse Pijl. These are – as it looks now – his last two races this spring. After La Doyenne he takes a break to prepare for the Tour de France.
