"I thought I had the legs, but when Pogacar attacked I couldn't follow" - Matej Mohoric with Milano-Sanremo performance

Matej Mohoric had the form and came in confident to Milano-Sanremo. He attempted to defend his title, but struggled in the final ascent as the main favourites attack and had to settle for a position in the Top10.
“UAE Emirates attacked in the middle of the climb. We already expected that. I thought I had the legs, but when Pogacar attacked I couldn't follow," Mohoric said in a post-race interview. "I stayed with [Mads] Pedersen and [Soren] Kragh Andersen. We just didn't have the legs to follow the four best riders.”
Bahrain - Victorious did some great work as they entered the Poggio in front and led through the first kilometer of it. However as soon as UAE pushed the pace Mohoric found himself under difficulties, and could not match Pogacar's attack. His descending skills kept him dreaming of reaching the front after the summit, but the pace was full-on in front and he couldn't make it back.
“The wind was different. It was difficult to be in the wheel with the wind at your back," he explained. "The preparation was the same as last year, but the circumstances were not in my favor.” Mohoric was in the second chasing group, riding to eighth place in the end after suffering through the finish.

- 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
