Matej Mohoric won two stages in the 2021
Tour de France in impressive fashion, and after Milano-Sanremo win earlier this year and a strong Tour of Slovenia, it came as a surprise as he was far from his level at the Tour.
I haven't been feeling great at the Tour and I struggled to recover afterwards," Mohoric said in a social media post. He then went on to reveal the reasons why he had struggled with form: "The blood checks revealed I had an asymptomatic covid infection and that I possibly also had an Epstein-Barr virus infection recently".
