Video | Matej Mohoric at the start of E3: "We're looking forward to the race"
Cycling
After a surprising win at Milano-Sanremo, Matej Mohoric will now be setting sights on the cobbled classics campaign which he is set to do alongside the very best in the coming weeks. He's spoken about his ambitions at the start today.
"Yes I'm ready, I think we brought a very good team here, we're looking forward to the race," Mohoric said at the start in an interview with CyclingPro. "I won't use the dropper bike today I think it's not a big advantage on the cobbled but we're still looking for a good race."
After a colossal effort that has earned him the biggest win of his career this past Saturday, questions rise over if he's recovered from the effort: "I think so. It's almost been one week so I think I feel good now. I want to see how the legs will feel, I think today is a bit like testing themselves for Flandres. We will see how the other guys go, and of course try to do our best."
"Yeah of course, Sonny had a big misfortune and it gives you a good perspective of life in general. We hope for a good recovery and I am sure that the medical team around him will decide what's in his best interest for his heart," he concluded, being asked about his teammate Sonny Colbrelli with whom he's teamed up last year for great success.
Bahrain - Victorious for E3 Saxo Bank Classic: Matej Mohoric, Heinrich Haussler, Filip Maciejuk, Jonathan Milan, Kamil Gradek, Fred Wright and Yukiya Arashiro.

- The fact that he attacked from afar means that he was feeling great. And suddenly he started going slower. Either there was something wrong with a bike or he bonked. I believe the second, given his climbing where Jonas caught him nad a sprint that he was unable to do standing up the ejtire time, which is super unusual and implies there wasn't anything wrong with the bikevappaxbipmv31-12-2024
- Sorry but that’s confusing, what cannot be true??? Are you saying that under the assumption every day is the same and riders are the same every day? I don’t think anyone has a complete answer as to why there was this results on this day or any other result on any other day, it depends on millions of things in billions of different degrees each time. Maybe there is nothing wrong with feeding on a given day but if it is « optimised » to 97.3% one day as opposed to 97.4% on another no-one is going to be able to tell but that CAN be the difference between the cm needed to get 1st instead of 2nd after a few 100km if we consider the impossibility that EVERY other factor for you and your rival remained exactly as another day.Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- It doesn't take a genius to start a rumour. Quite the opposite, actually.

- First in here needs to tell everyone else which low level story we can pump clicks into to discuss humanity's trauser stain or politics, otherwise the bots will keep pushing LA data up to the content decision makers. So tired of seeing anything LA related because it does not provoke any meaningful discussion. It just provokes long held polarized views from the early 2000s.northcarolinaeric31-12-2024

- Cheating can take minutes and happen completely spontaneously or (not so rare in the current world) as part of a set-up amongst many scenarios. Also cheating thresholds are completely different for everyone but I really don’t think the question is of interest seeing as it’s not true, or is there a need for any of us knowing who was accused, for what reason and by who if they themselves don’t seem interested? Another team trying to sabotage his relationship to weaken his guard for a better negotiation position in a future transfer discussion hiding behind free speech liberties, is that what you’re hoping to discover?Mistermaumau31-12-2024
- That simply cannot be true. He's been attacking and winning from afar all year before that and suddenly he bonked because he went too early, with most of that being a climb? There's absolutely no reason to believe that he did the same watts as on PdB a few days later because he went from "too far", with the efforts being 12:30 vs almost 40 minutesvappaxbipmv31-12-2024
- If Rog has to only follow, then he needs only 3 exclusive teammates, 2 for mountains and one for flats and the other can chip in where neededabstractengineer31-12-2024
- Lemond's bias against LA shows, not that it is unwarranted. The 1990-1999 era was 60% HCT era, the worst ever, completely unrestricted, God level, Its only after the 50% Hct rule came up that people came down to alien levelsabstractengineer31-12-2024
