Matej Mohoric's Grueling Effort Secures Tour de France Victory for Mäder

Matej Mohoric won stage 19 of the Tour de France in a photo finish, securing his second stage win of the race. The victory was particularly meaningful for Mohoric, who had struggled in last year's Tour and had to overcome Epstein-Barr syndrome. The win also came after the tragic death of his teammate Gino Mäder. Mohoric dedicated his victory to Mäder and expressed his emotional journey as a professional cyclist. He is the third Bahrain Victorious rider to win a stage in this year's Tour. Mohoric's analytical thinking and endurance helped him secure the win, and he has decided to forgo the Road World Championships due to the course not favoring his strengths.
