"I think it's great that the speech has inspired so many people" - Matej Mohoric looks back on famous interview following Tour de France stage win
CyclingWednesday, 15 November 2023 at 19:00
Earlier this year, an incredibly emotional Matej Mohoric touched the hearts of cycling fans the world over with an open and honest interview after winning stage 19 of the Tour de France.
Overcome with emotion following his victory, Mohoric broke down into tears dedicating the stage win to his much-missed Bahrain - Victorious teammate Gino Mader, who had passed away just weeks earlier following a fatal crash at the Tour de Suisse, and delving deep into the mental struggles that come with riding in the peloton at the highest level.
The gracious, heartfelt and inspiring nature of the interview resonated with everyone who saw it and after Mohoric was among those honoured at the Slovenian Cyclist of the Year awards show, he was of course, asked about the iconic moment.
“My heart still beats faster when I watch the video,” he recalls. "I think it's great that the speech has inspired so many people. To do something good for themselves, to set high goals, to chase dreams."

- 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
