Tadej Pogacar is shifting gears after a disappointing finish in the Milan-Sanremo race. He’s trading in his original plan to focus on the Volta a Flandres and Paris-Roubaix.
The UAE-Emirates team says Pogacar will skip the E3 Saxo Classic and Gent-Wevelgem to prepare for these iconic races.
At 26, Pogacar has already won seven of the sports’ biggest one-day events. Now he’s gunning for the Paris-Roubaix, a race he’s never entered before.
Changing Plans
Pogacar’s team says he wants to peak for the Volta a Flandres and Paris-Roubaix. He’s already won the Volta a Flandres once.
The Paris-Roubaix is known for its tough course, with cobblestone roads that can be brutal on riders.
Pogacar is considered the best cyclist right now. He’s got his sights set on adding another big win to his resume.
Upcoming Races
Pogacar will ride in the Volta a Flandres in the coming weeks. Then he’ll face the “Inferno of the North” – the Paris-Roubaix.
His team is behind him, and he’s ready to take on the challenge.
Pogacar is used to winning, and he’s not giving up on his goals.
The question is, can he conquer the Paris-Roubaix? Only time will tell.
