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."
Bahrain - Victorious for Paris-Roubaix 2024

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
