Pogačar unveils a bare-carbon cobble machine for Paris-Roubaix

Tadej Pogačar has overhauled his Paris-Roubaix cobble bike into a near-no-paint, weight-lean machine: wider tires around 35mm, a spare bike with 32mm rear, a legal 65mm rear rim on ENVE SES 6.7 wheels, a matte raw-carbon frame with minimal grafics, bayonet fork, a single front chainring, lightweight parts including aftermarket thru-axles, a 3D-printed saddle, foam under the brake levers, and a hinge-equipped Colnago computer mount. The goal is to shave weight and boost performance on the cobbles with a tech-forward setup, illustrating a meticulous, race-ready approach to the Monument.

Vingegaard’s DIY bib tights fuel a win in brutal Paris-Nice

Jonas Vingegaard won Paris-Nice Stage 4 in brutal cold by wearing modified bib tights worn outside his jersey to stay warm. The tights were pre-cut so teammates could quickly remove them later, but the pace and conditions left little time for adjustments. A later Visma Lease a Bike post explained the strategy: he’d pre-ripped the tights for easy removal, but never had the chance to shed them as the race finished in challenging weather and he took the race lead.
