Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

Just watching a post race interview with Pog, he looks totally cooked, never seen him cook so wrecked. This result must be a colossal disappointment.

He had 3 punctures, he says. It's funny because the build up is all about tyre size, tubeless and or inserts? What PSI? All these tech improvements, even UCI last week banning the Gravaa tyre inflation/deflation system out of the blue (really pissing off Visma) and yet year after year the number of punctures is always high.

Too much luck in this race IMO. I know luck plays into every bike race, but not to this extent. I know it makes Paris Roubaix the exciting race that it is. And I'm very happy that WVA had the least bad luck of the main contenders this time.

But being arguably the world's best bike handler and 1-day racer didn't prevent or overcome MVDP's bad luck. And that doesn't feel quite right.

Nor does the added risk of injury. The sport is too dangerous even without that.
