Matej Mohoric at risk of missing Paris-Roubaix following tough injury at Tour of Flanders

Bahrain - Victorious saw Matej Mohoric in contention for the Tour of Flanders for large kilometers but the outcome was not the best for the Slovenian. Away from the TV broadcast, Mohoric crashed late in the race and suffered injuries which may prevent him from racing Paris-Toubaix.
"Following the crash at Tour of Flanders, Matej Mohoric sustained a soft tissue injury and deep cut to his elbow which required stitches," the team shared on social media this Sunday. "Fortunately, there are no fractures. He will undergo further assessment in the coming days regarding his participation in Roubaix."
Mohoric was in contention for a Top10, but it is not clear under which circumstances the crash happened. Having taken stitches to the elbow to treat a deep cut, he will certainly be out of the road for a few days so as to recover from it, but it is going to be complicated to fully heal before the 'Hell of the North'.
This poses a big issue for the team which may lose it's leader. Mohoric was fifth in Roubaix back in 2022 and by all means would be a contender for the podium under ideal conditions. Over the coming days his condition will be accessed before a decision is made.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
