Sean Kelly's Classics Column: Tadej Pogacar would be crazy to ride Paris-Roubaix
Briefly

Despite Tadej Pogačar's recent success at Strade Bianche, experts caution against him participating in Paris-Roubaix this year due to safety risks. As he aims to reinforce his Tour de France title, it is important for him to avoid high-risk races that could jeopardize his performance. His current race program allows him to remain in peak form without excessive stage racing. Riding Roubaix could distract him from achieving the clear win that would confirm his prior success, especially given the tough nature of one-day races, which he plans to participate in this season.
Even though Strade showed his strength, it also proved just how risky these races can be, and the mistake he made was an amateur mistake.
The risk is so high in Roubaix, and for a rider who is at his prime to win another Tour de France ... it's not a good idea to ride Roubaix.
