I can't see him winning Roubaix or MSR. But otherwise no. There isn't.Is there anything he can't do? I wanna see Tadej ride Paris-Roubaix
No reason why he can't win MSR, if he can escape on the Poggio. That's one classic which is sometimes won by the sprinters, and sometimes by climbers. It's boring as **** to watch, until the last 20 km, but it's the least predictable of all the Monuments.I can't see him winning Roubaix or MSR. But otherwise no. There isn't.
I don't think the Poggio is long enough for him. Especially early in the season. If it were at the end of the season maybe he wins it.No reason why he can't win MSR, if he can escape on the Poggio.

I suspect he'd give Roubaix a fair shake if he raced it. Remember he absolutely blitzed the cobbled stage in the TdF, and won Strade Bianchi & Flanders. There's more to Pog than just a brilliant climber. MVDP would probably still be the favourite on the starting line, but Tadej wouldn't be too far behind him.
You're probably right... but I think he'd be able to give both a shake if he was willing to try. I think he may even surprise himself, particularly with Roubaix.I don't think the Poggio is long enough for him. Especially early in the season. If it were at the end of the season maybe he wins it.
He admits that he needs to put on 5+ kg to win Roubaix. He's brilliant but right now he can't do it by his own admission.
