Looking forward to achieving a new historic achievement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Pugachar, the announced team roster includes riders Nils Pollitt, Florian Vermeersch and Mikkel Berg. In addition to Sebastian Molano, Antonio Morgado, and Rui Oliveira.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Pugachar won the Milan-Sanremo and Tour of Flanders titles. To become the holder of four out of five major cycling titles. He is looking forward to winning the Paris-Roubaix race title for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>big challenge<\/p>\n<p>If he wins the race, Pugachar will become the first cyclist since 1979 to win all five Monument races. They are Milan-Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge, and Ile-Lombardy.<\/p>\n<p>The Paris-Roubaix race is Pugachar\u2019s last challenge in this series, and perhaps his most difficult test.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Pugachar became the first Tour de France champion to participate in the race since 1991. He finished in second place behind Dutchman Matthew van der Poel. He would have been close to competing for the title had he not fallen 38.1 kilometers before the end.<\/p>\n<p>Hell of the North<\/p>\n<p>The race is known as the \u201cHell of the North\u201d due to its great difficulty. It is held on cobblestone roads in northern Europe.
