Mohoric trained over the winter for this race, set up a special bike with a dropper seat post(heavier), and planned to attack on the DESCENT. Brilliant.
@Ross Somewhat, most bikes aren't that much below 6.8KG with disc brakes and aero wheels, also you would prefer the weight to be close to the bottom bracket. Of course this weight change is negated by lowering your own weight with a dropper seat post for the descent. It would be interesting to see if riders would use a smaller frame and longer seat post to have more drop in the future.
@@Alex-to8es I believe they tested one with more of a drop and found it was better with less drop because he could pedal better with it down so went with 6cm not 9cm.
This may be the first documented win with a dropper seat post in a UCI race! Again, Mahoric is on the leading edge of technical development. Has the UCI banned it yet? LoL!
he had to swap the aero bike with a more conventional one as long you are not ahead of the pack, it's a great option. I wonder if the manufactures will start include dropper post on their aero bikes. UCI will, most likely think about to ban it, since this could lead to another arms race -but this is just the result of the super tuck ban...
@@Andi_ch perhaps more likely on climbing bikes. You don’t need a dropper on flat stages, and some climbing bikes are already way below the UCI weight limit and need to add weight anyway. Plus, it’s plug and play if the bike has a conventional (round) seatpost, so manufacturing is easier
He pioneered the super tuck pedal technique when he used it to win 2013 u23 worlds, which is now banned. Casual cycling fans think froomey invented it. Now he pioneered the dropper post which will probably be banned.
This race is won or lost in the descent of the Poggio. Don't know why it took so long for someone to bring along a dropper seat. Pro road cycling is definitely a conservative bunch. I can definitely see now the launch of a "Specialized San Remo": an aero Venge frame with an integrated dropper seat.
I was delighted to see Mohorič win. I think he's a well-deserving winner - what I think of as an honest racer, who doesn't just wanna sit on, but is prepared to take it to the rest of the guys. (I wonder if he sometimes gets into trouble with his DS?)
Not even MVP, WVA, and Pogacar could keep up with Mojoric. That dropper post must have provided him an advantage, kudos to the mechanic who thought of it. It was genius.
@@iwonanatalia5476 😂Big-balls definition Filters. (slang) Courage; guts. There were a lot od Strong riders .. And they are waiting... Matej show his jajca and win...🏄😎🏅
Great finale of a race which I watched in its entirety without commentary except for occasional clips from Wiggins and before the race interviews. I live in Australia....maybe that explains everything ! 🙃
Hi Andy. We had two different feeds for the race. The race with the live show was the one with English commentary. We've been made aware that this was a bit confusing so we're going to try and simplify it for the future!
4:02 I hope you all enjoyed the close-up videos of his attack because the motorcycle dragged him off the front. I hate seeing them obviously dragging someone along just to get video.
I agree he got some help. Happens a lot. But, he still risked his life, displayed God-like skills going down, and dropped two of the greatest bike handlers to ever ride the road. What are your thoughts, should we give him a pass on the drafting and call it good? Thanks for pointing it out. I think the UCI needs to put a little tougher restrictions on the moto-cam guys. It would be so easy. I'm a film director and I could give them 20 camera/lens set ups to choose from that would put plenty of distance between the bike and the rider and still give them close up images. Get with it UCI.
@@jamiepaolinetti5087 The first part of an attack like that is very important. The riders behind would have still had his draft if he hadn't been dragged away. At those speeds, the motorcycle punches a big hole in the air. It was an exciting descent and he took a lot of risks and I certainly can't blame him for taking advantage because I do think he recognized it, but I don't want to be wondering if he would have got away without that motorcycle.
Love to be a fly on the wall when Si Richardson was watching, he's been bigging up the finale all week, then someone wins with a dropper post, conflicting emotions 😆.
One thing i notice... Jumbovisma ineos and other team check team UAE to prevent pogajcar to launch long range attack,, thats why in final kilometers other team take the advantage then bahrain take over... For sure it is preparing for tdf for all the team.. They know how to check UAE.
Mahoric could have been caught in the last km but the big boys would not work together to reel him in - probably because they feared a bunch sprint on tired legs
Yep! Props to WVA and Pogačar! One attacked several times, the other defende himself and close the gape! MDVP was just on the wheels! He being training so far for this race! They just fall asleep on his bait!
He came oh so close to crashing when he put his head down to look behind him and went into the gutter. that would have been ugly with that rock wall right there.
I think this way: when rider depend of himself its easier to solve teh situation. But when he is in "Allez Opi Omi" or "Colbrelli's stay away" like situation, then there is a god's will.
The cash registers will be ringing to the sound of overweight mamils buying dropper posts to navigate the tricky roads of Richmond Park and legendary nail bitting Ditchling Beacon….thank goodness they have disc brakes too 🤣🤣🤣
Mohoric trained over the winter for this race, set up a special bike with a dropper seat post(heavier), and planned to attack on the DESCENT. Brilliant.
Probably also using wider tyres, as he leaned a lot on some curves...

But how could he win with such a none aero seat post /s
@@Alex-to8es I believe they tested one with more of a drop and found it was better with less drop because he could pedal better with it down so went with 6cm not 9cm.
@@treadtyred9742 well he just did.
The greatest descent I've ever seen!!! Great job, Mohoric
The luckiest I've ever seen. And great help from the motor bike.
@@Whistler4u He was within a bike length of the moto at times. That was crazy.
@@Whistler4u There was nothing the motorbike could do. In fact might have even slowed him down!
Then you've not seen Froome descent
Follow those u will be dead: cancellara, mohoric, Nibali, viscounty.
thanks GCN for another great and exciting recap.....good to see MVDP again....kudos to Slovenia.....
They’re on the top of the world right now
Congratulations to Mahoric but great ride for MVDP on his debut season
What an ending 😯😯😯
What a descent!!!
Ollie must be proud. His video on using a dropper seat should get more views now
And same with Dan's Bodge of the Century vid, with the third lever to actuate the dropper. :)
Clearly Matej watched our video to get the idea! Ollie thinks he did it better though! 😂
@@gcntech Ollie is smooth, no doubt. He makes it all look effortless. 😀
That was an utterly remarkable performance
Top ten stacked with great riders.. great win for Mohoric..
Supertucked ban? No worries, we got the dropper post! Bravo team bahrain
He outsmart everyone, a very very well deserved win 👍👍👍
Never underestimate a guy who has a descending tutorial on youtube.
Well done everyone. Great job Bini, who ranked 12th. 🇪🇷
This may be the first documented win with a dropper seat post in a UCI race! Again, Mahoric is on the leading edge of technical development. Has the UCI banned it yet? LoL!
Is it some sort of adjusting mid race seat post? Affects the Centre of gravity and whatnot?
@@spennyfumepipe Correct, it gets the saddle out the way making it easier to shift bodyweight around when decending. Very common in mountainbiking
Thats a good idea !!!..i use one on my Mt Bike the last few yrs and they really do make it much safer while im bombing on the downhills !

We all know how good Mohoric is on descents! Chapeau
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
What a madman, excellent win
Slovenia on firee with Primoz ,Tadej and now Mohoric
Jan tratnic also finished in top 10

@@plophopfire And Polanc dropped most of the peloton on Cipressa for Pogi. What a country!
Three Slovenians in the top 9 of Milan-Sanremo. Insane
Indeed! Not slovenly at all.
mohoric really prepared for this descent. he knows well the roads...
very deserving win for him...
No guts, no glory. And that descent took guts!
An incredible win. Sean Kelly must be proud. 🙂
This is a great example of craft mastery and adaptation. 👏👏👏👏
what a descent 3:53 wow..very flexible 💪🚴💪
Yeah, that curb was terryfying
He wanted it the most it the last descent. Spectacular!

Dropper post ftw! 🔥 MVDP looks good too..
Thanks a lot GNC I love the winning of this strong cyclist
Men... the way Mohoric pointed his bike...
i do believe Merida really put a lot of effort on that reacto.
Its a Scultura Team not a Reacto !
@@Tiagocross sory... my bad... it is scultura...
Great race! Congrats Mohoric.
03:51 had my heart in my mouth
3:52 blimey he was lucky there, clearly didn't mean to go down into the gutter after wandering off line whilst head down, got away with it, just!
Thanks! Great race!
Next up, UCI bans dropper posts.. great win though, and mad skills jumping out of the gutter
Bravo Matej!!! in superb style
Wow, Slovenia's palmares in recent years is quite something.
Great commentating at the finale today!

Davide Formolo was great and caught the BA finally.
Whoa!! What a decent! 😮
The last 30 km's were insane wow!
I think he used the climbers model to put on the dropper seat post and keep
The weight light
Beautiful!
Slovenia dominating the UCI World Tour!
Nibali’s race is this one, he’s not around
Not even MVP, WVA, and Pogacar could keep up with Mojoric. That dropper post must have provided him an advantage, kudos to the mechanic who thought of it. It was genius.
Chuck Norris on the bike 🙃💪💪💪
Others avoid disc breaks to gain advantage on climbs, so why not the other way... Great win
Mohoric was due for a big win. Well deserved! I’d say equal in excitement to Nibs’ win a few years ago.
I got my PTSD going 🤣
Bravo Matej....vsem si pokazal da imaš jajca!
I guess jajca means the same in slovenian and in polish

FYI, you missed Robbie McEwen commentating on GCN+ then
Yes, I'm a big fan of Robbie. Could hear Wiggins who would say, " and now back to the commentary" but then ...silence.

How bout the daring choice to go fast as he can thru the corners?! Choice lines he made right there

I just watched the last 50Km on replay. I wonder if it would have been more interesting with commentary?
They should have kept Wiggins on live mike from the motorcycle as he was the only commentary to be had.
There was commentary on the 'live show' option with GCN.

What a race
mohoric il descend comme un furieux c'est ouf.
brilliant!!
Good skillz!🐇
Dropper Post for the win!
I'll bet that ain't no off the shelf dropper! Anybody know any details?
Didn't mention Nibali descend a few years back.
🤩🤩🤩 Top Descender ever! Legend! Shit Top!!🤩...
Fearless. It was first place or the hospital for Mohoric.
Policy wonks at the UCI called in to work on a rare Saturday, to begin crafting a new regulation banning dropper posts.
Matej Mohorič: THE PATIENT PREDATOR 🐺
Let Robbie do All Commentating!!
no super tuck, no problem. the daredevil Mohoric!
Bravo
Did he drop his chain?. I know Rob Hatch loved obssessing about it.
how long will it take until they ban dropper seat post? 🤔
That what i love to seee
And he did it without sitting on the Top tube!
Toujours surpris.....van der poel....sans course....300kms....et troisième....bravo!🤔
Mat chew van der pool. 😂
Slovenians they drive bike with head, not only with legs...
Look at mvdp on the podium..... Not bad but un good shape for sure he will take it....
How many inches does a dropper post drop?
UCI rule say 10cm if I remember well
Drop your seat a little bit, you might be able to catch him.
The line up had all the favorites. Am not sure who was missing. Mohoric beat the best with an amazing wharp speed with that down hill attack
Alaphilippe
The 'Other Slovenian' won-Who, Polanc?- No Victorious since Juvenile dude', Mateo

Dropper post win!

It would make sense for TJV to aim for WVA in a sprint

No teammates for anyone . So who start chasing 100% goin to throw away his chances of winning . So they started to look around
greate

Bravo Mohorič. To easy and to short a Hill for Pogačar
chapeau van de Poel

If you think that dropper post saved him any time I have got a bridge I would like to sell you.
then UCI will disqualify him for using dropper post😂😂
