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

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.
