# Matej Mohorič

Matej Mohorič (born 19 October 1994) is a Slovenian professional road racing cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Bahrain Victorious. Mohorič turned professional in 2014. He won the Slovenian National Road Race Championships in 2018 and 2021, and the UCI Gravel World Championships in 2023.

## Early and personal life

Born on 19 October 1994, in Kranj, Slovenia, Mohorič currently resides in Šenčur, Slovenia.

## Career

Mohorič won the 2012 UCI World Junior Road Race Championships and the 2013 UCI World Under-23 Road Race Championships, becoming the first rider to win world junior and under-23 titles in consecutive years.
He signed with Cannondale, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2014 season.
Mohorič signed with Cannondale–Garmin, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2015 season. He was named in the start list for the 2015 Vuelta a España, but he withdrew on the 6th stage. Subsequently, it was announced that he would join Lampre–Merida from 2016 on a two-year contract. He was named in the start list for the 2016 Giro d'Italia. Mohorič secured his first Grand Tour stage win when he soloed to victory in Stage 7 of the 2017 Vuelta a España. In Stage 10 of the 2018 Giro d'Italia he took his second win in a Grand Tour, winning a two-man sprint against Nico Denz.
In July 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Tour de France.
He participated in the 2020 Tour de France and the 2021 Tour de France, garnering two stage wins in the 2021 Tour after crashing out of the Giro two months before. His second victory came the day after a police raid on the Bahrain Victorious hotel stemming from allegations of doping; Mohorič celebrated his win by 'zipping' his lips, adding in a post-race interview, "At the end of the day I’ve got nothing to hide. I don’t care too much."
In 2022, Mohorič won the Milan-San Remo monument, attacking on the descent of the Poggio using a dropper seatpost. He defeated Jonas Vingegaard to win the 2022 CRO Race.
He won stage 19 of the 2023 Tour de France in a photo finish with Kasper Asgreen, by a margin of 0.004 seconds. He later received praise for his interview after the race, in which he talked about the cruel nature of professional cycling.
After the Tour, Mohoric rode the 2023 Tour de Pologne, where he won stage 2 and took the leader's jersey. Heading into the final stage, Mohoric was tied for the overall lead with João Almeida. During the stage, Mohoric won an intermediate sprint, gaining bonus seconds and winning the overall by a single second.
In October 2023, Mohorič won the UCI Gravel World Championships, holding off Florian Vermeersch and Connor Swift during a solo attack in the final 20 km of the 169 km course in Veneto, Italy.
