LE SCAN SPORT – About 120 kilometers from the finish line, the Slovenian experienced several setbacks in terms of technical issues.
Will Paris-Roubaix once again deny Tadej Pogacar this year? The last “Monument” missing from the Slovenian’s list of achievements, the French classic seems unwilling to smile upon him this Sunday. In fact, about 120 kilometers from the finish line in the North, the world champion was forced to stop due to a technical problem.
Quickly assisted, Pogacar was able to rejoin a second peloton about 45 seconds behind the race leader. However, the vehicle providing mechanical assistance to the Slovenian, poorly parked, then created a real bottleneck for the following riders, causing a kind of traffic jam.
And moments later, Pogacar stopped again, in a more favorable area, to abandon the Shibano bike from neutral support and retrieve one from his team. Two setbacks that do not mean he has lost the race, but seriously compromise his chances.
