Matej Mohoric misses out as Bahrain - Victorious confirm Paris-Roubaix lineup led by Fred Wright
CyclingThursday, 04 April 2024 at 15:30
One of the most exciting races on the calendar, Paris-Roubaix takes place this weekend and with Bahrain - Victorious becoming the latest team to confirm their lineup, Matej Mohoric is a notable absentee.
The Slovenian, former fifth-placed finisher on the French cobbles crashed out of the Tour of Flanders last week, requiring stitches to fix a deep gash on his elbow. Although there were a few other minor injuries, the lack of fractures meant fans could remain hopeful of seeing the Gravel World Champion at Paris-Roubaix. Sadly though, he has not been able to recover in time.

"It’s hard to lose someone like Matej, but his crash at Flanders meant he couldn’t finish the race and fight for the victory there. That was already hard for the whole team to take, and the issues following that crash have led to his withdrawal from Roubaix too, so that’s a bad situation for us, and for himself, but that’s just how it is," Sports Director Enrico Poitschke tells Bahrain - Victorious' official website. "Nonetheless, we are looking forward to the race."
In Mohoric's absence, British National Champion, Fred Wright holds the team's ambitions. "Fred is our clear leader, and all the other guys are very motivated; we have a good mix of youth and experience, and while our tactics might have changed a little, our philosophy stays the same and we still have big ambitions," Poitschke explains. "We will try to support Fred at all the key moments and bring him to each of the pavé sections in good position. At Roubaix almost anything is possible, so we’ll try to fight for a top result with him."
