Matej Mohoric ahead of Amstel Gold Race: "I want to turn that around and get a result"
CyclingFriday, 14 April 2023 at 22:00
Matej Mohoric showed good form throughout the spring but couldn't bring in the hoped result. Amstel Gold Race has a profile that suits him quite well and the leader of Bahrain - Victorious will be one of the big contenders for a top result.
“I think I've raced here every year since turning pro. In other words, I have the most experience with this competition. I also love this race," Mohoric said ahead of the race. The Slovenian has only once finished in the Top10 back in 2021 when he rode to ninth spot. However he could improve on that this year if she shows his best legs.
He was on the attack constantly at the Opening Weekend, and also finished on the Top10 of Strade Bianche, Milano-Sanremo and the E3 Saxo Classic. Possibly however his focus in the earlier classics cost him over the recent weeks. He abandoned the Tour of Flanders but at Paris-Roubaix he also couldn't bring in a strong result, crossing the line in 29th place.
However, he reassures that his form has not passed. “My condition is good, the legs are still there. I had a lot of bad luck in the previous three races, so now I want to turn that around and get a result," he concluded. He won't be the only Slovenian that will be within a shot of the win, compatriot Tadej Pogacar comes in as a big favourite for the race for the first time in his career.

- MvdP is just afraid losing Pogi on his sight. Since 2023 Tour of Flanders is a nightmare for him when he dropped.

- everything you hear about lance and his team back in their “glory” days is so weird and creepy and gross. it always just reinforces that at least among a certain group, lance isn’t hated and despised only for the doping — other dopers have been cast out but not HATED — it’s because he’s just an extremely AWFUL human being in virtually every way imaginable.OCexile23-12-2024
- When I ask AI "Has Tadej Pogacar ever raced cyclocross against Mathieu van der Poel?", the answer says NO. Is that really true? Wonder how they would do when clearly in van der Poel's territory.Ride197423-12-2024
