“I will do everything to try to defend my title, but…”

“I injured my hand in Girona and therefore had to give up the road Worlds, but it’s better and it doesn’t hurt too much anymore. I’m in good shape to race on Sunday”confides Matej Mohoric with a team Bahrain Victorious which will also align Matevz Govekar. “I’m very excited and super motivated.

I’m going to do everything to try to defend my title, but it certainly won’t be easy… there are big names on the start list.”underlines the one who will be notably opposed to the Dutch Mathieu van der Poel.
