Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad have confirmed he will ride Paris-Roubaix, setting up another Classics clash with Mathieu van der Poel and Filippo Ganna after their Milan-San Remo battle.

Pogačar was due to ride Friday's E3 Saxo Classic and Sunday's Gent-Wevelgem but UAE announced on Wednesday morning that Pogačar "will adjust his calendar to focus on the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix instead, aiming for peak form in those iconic races."
