Matej Mohoric won the CRO Race after a thrilling sprint in the final stage, where he finished second behind stage winner Elia Viviani. It is his second victory this season.
"I have to thank the whole team for this," Mohoric said. He continues,"We knew it was going to be an exciting battle. This morning I was still eight seconds behind, and it seemed impossible to still win the classification. But we went full for the first intermediate sprint, and also knew I had to finish second in the stage after that," explained the winner of the CRO Race.
He credits his team for his victory in the tour ."The team did almost all the work. I only had to follow, and in the finale, I had to not lose my wheel of Johnny. He did his lead-out when Viviani started sprinting. I just had to follow him and was able to finish second, even though I'm not a sprinter. I have to thank the whole team for that. Without them, this would not have been possible,” he said.
The rider missed the World Championship since his season was not going well, but his recent victory is a much-needed boost for his performance. "This CRO Race was a goal for me because I wanted to finish the season well. I had a lot of problems this summer, but I was already feeling a little better during the trip to Canada. After that, I did decide not to ride the World Cup because I wouldn't be able to ride in top form. But I did continue training," concluded Mohoric.
