First they'll battle it out at the Tour of Flanders, but many fans would be lying if they said they weren't looking forward to the following dish even more: Tadej Pogacar vs. Mathieu van der Poel duel at Paris-Roubaix. The Slovenian is yet to make his debut at the Hell of the North this season, but his training efforts are quite promising.
According to the UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider's latest activity on Strava, Pogacar did a 213-kilometer training ride this Wednesday, where he broke no less than 3(!) records on sectors of Paris-Roubaix, including Mons-en-Pévèle.
In addition, Tadej Pogacar also recorded the 2nd fastest time ever at Carrefour de l'Arbre, and went through the Vieux Quaremont. There is no doubt that the little cannibal from UAE is taking this part of the season very seriously, and hasn't even begun to think about the Tour de France.
Victories at the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix are haunting a rider who feels wounded after the defeat at the last Milano-Sanremo. Will this latest training session by Tadej Pogacar make Mathieu van der Poel nervous?

- The first big mountain stage and it's adios Remco.
ScottG03-07-2025 - Other than in a TT, there are always major crashes in the first stage of the TdF. It's a given.ScottG03-07-2025
- That period is over, now he is Jasper the master. Lately, juries are overly cautious. A sprinter (sneaky) raising their hand in complaint is enough to punish the other sprinter, even without any real danger.
maria2024202403-07-2025 - Awaiting probably the dirtiest sprinter at the moment in the peloton.to put others into the barriers cut them up and cause crashes . No wonder his nickname is jasper the disaster.paultryan200203-07-2025
- Why are they checking for motor-doping? They can just check for motors. If someone is using a pneumatic drill to administer PEDs, they kinda deserve to win.
Barney03-07-2025 - He won't win the TDF unless Pogi messes up somehow. Pogačar didn't have a team when Vingo beat him. Now, the teams are near even and head to head Pogačar is just a better ridermd197503-07-2025
- Guy is a great classic rider, if he concentrated on a GT only I think he could win one. However, he would have to be all in to try. I like him great ridermd197503-07-2025
- To win of top 3, he needs support. A d according to the roster, they are taking a sprinter and lead out man. So, come time to climb, Remco is down 2 team members for support. To win a race like the TDF you need skill, luck (illness and falls), directions from the team and more than anything a team built to be your support on flat and then climbs. Not be out manned before you even see a climbmd197503-07-2025
- I agree, the big GC guys are there, but looking at the list, it seems a bit few teams with real GC ambitions. Or is it normal, half of the team are only there for stagesRide197402-07-2025
- Win all of the first 10 stages? Or does he mean that the profile of all of those 10 stages are suited for a win by Wout? If they mean winning 10 stages, they're banking on MVDP, Milan, and a few others to crash out on stage one. Maybe something was lost in translation.Ride197402-07-2025
