Tour de Pologne: Mohoric claims stunning long-range breakaway victory
(Cyclingnews.com)

Victory from a solo breakaway of 57 kilometres is a rare occurrence in professional cycling, but 24-year-old Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) proved up to the task in the finale stage 7 of the Tour de Pologne. The former under-23 and junior world champion powered away with well over a third of Friday`s hilly stage remaining to claim his first win since sealing the overall title at the Deutschland Tour last year. The lone triumph at the Tour de Pologne is a memorable moment for Mohoric after a lackluster season. He completed the Tour de France last month but was not able to claim a stage win to add to his previous breakaway Grand Tour victories at the Vuelta a España in 2017 and Giro d`Italia in 2018.ADVERTISEMENT Pologne has put him back on the right track. It also represents another success in what is his growing collection of breakaway wins from long-distance attacks. `Usually, when I win it`s from a long way out,` Mohoric said. `In the Vuelta, I was only soloing from the break with 10 kilometres to go, but in the Giro [where he beat fellow breakaway Nico Denz] it was 30km to go. In the World Championships when I won for a second time, it was from 40 or 45km to go. `This is a tactic I know I can do, I`m not so good in short efforts, but I can hold quite a bit of power for a very long time.` You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
