Paul Penhoët set for three months on the sidelines after knee surgery
CyclingFriday, 05 January 2024 at 16:00
Although for many of the peloton's riders, the 2024 season is soon to be underway, for Groupama - FDJ's Paul Penhoët, knee surgery has ensured his campaign opening is much delayed.
"Paul Penhoët suffers from a ligament injury in his right knee, requiring surgery," reads an official announcement by the Groupama - FDJ official X (Twitter) account. "He will be absent from competitions for approximately three months. We wish him a good recovery."
The 22-year-old Frenchman took victory at the Tour du Finistère in 2023, also finishing runner-up at the Tour de Vendée. With 2024 the final year of his current contract, Penhoët will be hoping this injury doesn't deny him a chance to shine this campaign.

- 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

- 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
- If you hold onto then, you blowup in a minute and then you finish 5 minutes down like Ben O'Connorabstractengineer21-12-2024

- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
