Both Wout, in supreme form, and Tadej will be targeting the Ronde van Vlaanderen. The Slovenian won 2 Monuments last year. And then Sagan has been laying low but I believe he’s keen to make a mark in ‘holy week’. The question mark is around Mathieu’s comeback and whether Greg can be a force to reckon with after 3rd at Omloop’. 

 

mvdl I feel won't have form after his injury....a bit early....will wait I think for Paris-roubaix....but Wout and Pogacar at Flanders will be exciting.....

2022 Paris-Roubaix date: April 17, 2022

After being cancelled in 2020 and held in October last year amid the coronavirus pandemic, Paris-Roubaix gets another shift in 2022, swapping Sundays with the Amstel Gold Race because of elections in France.

The Hell of the North will take place on Easter Sunday, putting two weeks in between it and the Tour of Flanders. The bigger gap between the cobbled Monuments may mean it will help make winning both somewhat easier.

The last riders to win Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in the same year were Fabian Cancellara (2010, 2013) and Tom Boonen (2005, 2012) and Peter Van Petegem (2003). In all, 12 riders have won both.
