Spencer Martin and co-host Andrew Vontz break down Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix, which will see the sport’s top star, Tadej Pogačar, attempt to win five consecutive Monuments, while Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Filippo Ganna, and Mads Pedersen attempt to stop him on the brutal cobblestones of northern France. They discuss the boundary-pushing tech, how Pogačar could potentially capture one of the last victories that have eluded him, and why he is attempting to do so in a $350,000 watch.
