- Except it was the writer of the article, not Pog, who said he was forced to use the neutral bike.
- In CX MvdP has been very unlucky (look at Maasmechelen 2026 - front and back punctures), but the only time it really cost him in recent years was Benidorm 2024.
Similarly, Paris-Roubaix has not been perfect for him (last year he crashed early in the race and had a torn skinsuit and a bloodied hip, if I remember correctly), but this time it was too.
- Which is how Tobias Lund Andresen can be 1 kg heavier than Florian Lipowitz and of the same height, but they are two completely different riders.
- The only dignified big favourite in the classics is Wout van Aert
- Who knew, that a wheel barrow would be Pogi’s kryptonite?
- I have a feeling Pog will come back next year having taken on the feedback and learnings - and then win, just like he has the other times he has lost a race
- That’s the thing with PR - having mech failures is part of the deal for most teams - Pog didn’t mention the number of times his team car blocked the race while he was getting service elsewhere.
- > The Slovenian was forced to use a spare bike he considered ill-suited, even comparing it to a wheelbarrow.
No, he wasn't forced.
If he didn't like it he could always walk and wait until team car is near.
Pogi is starting to be like Remco.
- For everyone’s information: Strength-to-weight ratio is more important in cycling than height-to-weight ratio, as it directly measures a cyclist's power relative to their body weight, which is crucial for climbing and overall performance. Height-to-weight ratio is less relevant for cycling performance.
Keep the rubber side down!
- Last year, if Tadej did not crash and have other mechanical issues, he would have arrived at the velodrome with MVDP and still lose in the sprint. Paris-Roubaix offers very little chances for a lightweight rider like Tadej. A few extra pounds goes a long way in softening up the effect of the cobbles on the body.
