There's history to be made in northern France this Sunday, as Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar set themselves for a tilt at Paris-Roubaix immortality.

Should the defending champion Van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) win again, he'll become the first person to claim four titles in a row. Conversely, if the cobbles play in Pogačar's (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) favour, the world champion could tick off the only remaining Monument he needs to complete the set of five – a feat that hasn't been seen in cycling since Roger De Vlaeminck in 1977.

Runner-up on debut last year, Pogačar could also become the first rider ever to hold all five Monument titles at the same time.
