Paris-Roubaix is an unique race in the calendar which requires plenty of different methods to race it. From unique mechanical setups, injury protection and even training methods. Mads Pedersen has motorpaced behind a 4-wheeler in the run-up to his final big goal of the spring.
A video from Trek - Segafredo shows Pedersen on a training ride ahead of Roubaix, riding a cobbled sector behind another unusual vehicle - replicating the typical motorbike motorpacing. Whether it was effective or not is up for the Dane to know, but he did manage to ride into a strong fourth place in the velodrome.

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
