Matej Mohoric crashes out of recon for UCI Gravel World Series in Girona, casting doubt on World Championship hopes
GravelFriday, 20 September 2024 at 14:30
Having only announced on Thursday that Matej Mohoric would be donning his Rainbow Jersey for the final time this season at the upcoming UCI Gravel World Series in Girona, Bahrain - Victorious have now updated with some sad news of a crash for the Slovenian during his recon.
"Unfortunately, Matej Mohoric had a tough crash during the recon of the course of the UCI Gravel World Series Sea Otter Europe Girona. Due to his injuries, he won’t be able to race on Saturday," the team announces sadly via their official social media pages. "He’ll return home to recover and focus on the upcoming Gravel World Championships."
It's that last sentence that has more potential to cause concern. Mohoric is set to join the likes of Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar representing Slovenia at the 2024 road World Championship in Switzerland on the 29th of September, before then attempting to take a second straight gravel World Championship triumph on October 6th.
At the time of writing, no news of any withdrawals have been announced, neither has a further update to any injuries sustained by Mohoric. If and when any updates are posted in this regard, we will, as always, do our best to keep you up to date!

- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
