“If Almeida goes for bonus seconds, then I go for it" - Matej Mohoric ready for thrilling finale at the Tour de Pologne with top two tied on time
CyclingThursday, 03 August 2023 at 20:30
The 2023 Tour de Pologne's general classification has been left in an incredibly tense situation heading into what will surely be a thrilling final stage as both Matej Mohoric and Joao Almeida are tied on time.
“I am confident that I can defend the lead. If Almeida goes for bonus seconds, then I go for it,” the Slovenian of Bahrain - Victorious says defiantly to Wielerflits in his post-stage interview. “I think I can sprint faster with the bonus seconds sprints, but if they want to go for it, I'm happy to compete. Then we will fight for it to the finish.”

In a thrilling finale to stage 6, Mohoric was the last man out on course in the time-trial. With Almeida impressing with a second-placed finish on the stage, Mohoric was battling against the clock to keep a hold of the general classification.
"I know I have the best legs ever. I know I can do a good time trial, but I haven't trained much on it lately. But if you have good legs, it will come naturally,” he concludes.

- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
