CyclingSunday, 07 April 2024 at 14:05
Touted by many as a potential dark horse for Paris-Roubaix 2024, INEOS Grenadiers' Joshua Tarling has been disqualified for the race.
The Welshman suffered an untimely puncture and after waiting some considerable time for his team car, Tarling took something of a super sticky bottle from the INEOS Grenadiers car in his attempt to get back into the lead group. Sadly, this action was caught by the TV cameras and race jury, signalling an end to his time in the race.

- I hope they slow down a bit because the average speed this year is waaaaay off the chart, riding like it’s a classic every day.Mistermaumau14-07-2025
- The fact he announced Vuelta can be interpreted both ways, impossible to read into it. Like when you see a lot of alcohol in someone’s home, is it an alcoholic or someone who doesn’t really drink?Mistermaumau14-07-2025
- That’s the price to pay for living 2-3 times as long as in the past ;-) He’s past the average for men so everything is a bonus now. Not great advertising for the hospital to not sterilise the whole place totally knowing someone so public was coming, maybe they became complacent through years of unnewsworthy people not affecting their reputation?Mistermaumau14-07-2025
- And yet it is only a reflection of the way society has become or is heading. Why would you expect something like pro. cycling to be spared the evolution we see in politics, social media, public behaviour, ultra competitive efforts for money, fame, attention, image (even physical) reputation, etc.Mistermaumau14-07-2025
- Tadej is bully (?) say the super-bully "experts". This site is a disappointment given voice to all kind of trash people desperate for click$$$ and easy money. I feel more and more uncomfortable in this site.

- yeah? For me it's strange... this is not Tadej. Attention! Tadej is very intelligent, but when he is in his plenty shape, he simply enjoys riding (attacking, sprinting even lead out to Molano), without speculating or making conservative calculations. Maybe he is also thinking in La Vuelta ... or maybe he is not in his best shape. This week we'll know the truth.maria2024202414-07-2025
- That's one of my biggest fear: having to be stayed convalescent in a hospital, the kingdom of untamed bacteria. Forza Cannibale!maria2024202414-07-2025
- Tim Merlier has been performing for the last three years, QST just weren't interested over their golden boy remcoabstractengineer14-07-2025
- Who are these people anyway, and why should I care about their opinions?Pogboom14-07-2025
Maybe he found his 62T too hard to crank up again :-)
Idiot....rules are rules.
Stfu
Should have been a yellow card at least. It look harsh
This could have been a yellow card, instead of kicking him out of the race
I haven’t seen yellow red rule systems yet but I thought that whole thing was solely as regards to dangerous riding, this is cheating, completely different kettle of fish and rules.
Best not complicate things that are already getting more complicated :-)
Yeah... Got to agree
