Tadej Pogacar breaks 3 Strava records during his reconnaissance for Paris-Roubaix 2025 including fastest time on Mons-en-Pévèle

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?
