Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Victorious) won a two up sprint by a whisker against Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step) on a fast and furious Stage 19 of the Tour de France. Those are bare bones of an incredible, full gas, GO GO GO day of breathless racing – seriously find the highlights you won’t regret it. However, my moment of joy is Matej’s post race interview.
I have never heard a rider explain exactly what it means to be a professional sportsperson with such eloquence, intelligence and emotion.
To win, you must take the victory away from someone else.
Watch the whole interview and then bookmark it. You can’t fail to be moved. #OhMatej
There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric.
