Paris-Roubaix is set for a thrilling showdown with potential rain, featuring Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogačar.

The cycling world is abuzz as the iconic Paris-Roubaix approaches, with the potential for rain adding a thrilling twist to the event. This could mark the first wet spring Roubaix in two decades, a scenario that British cycling legend Sean Yates believes would enhance the race`s epic nature. While adverse weather may not please spectators, it promises to elevate the competition among the riders.

Wout van Aert is gearing up for the challenge with a formidable team, including 19-year-old Matthew Brennan, who is set to make his Paris-Roubaix debut. Brennan has already made waves this season, clinching victory at the Grand Prix de Denain and securing stage wins in the Volta a Catalunya. His youthful energy could be a game-changer in the unpredictable conditions of Roubaix.

Tadej Pogačar, fresh off his triumph at the Tour of Flanders, is another key contender. His cyclo-cross background may provide him with the skills necessary to navigate the challenging wet terrain. As the race draws near, anticipation builds for what promises to be a memorable edition of the Paris-Roubaix, where weather could play a pivotal role in determining the victor.
