One of the best post-race interviews I've seen in 46 years of following this sport. Chapeau sir, you're a monster and a gentleman.

Mohoric is Slovenian. Can we take a moment to admire his ability to express himself in English? Wow! Wins a stage of the most famous bike race in the world, and then delivers an interview like this in a foreign language. A real credit to this truly international sport.

We are very proud of you. You represents what cycling means to me. Humble, force, self-determination, human quality, respect, grateful...

if u watch 1 post-race cycling interview, this should be it!!! Class, intelligence, humanity, humility...Mohoric...a winner everyone is happy for

i had literal goosebumps during this interview. incredible insights into the Tour de France instead of just "it was a hard day im glad we won thanks" Loved the emotions, much love Matej!

So glad Gino's teammates can represent him well in this year's TDF. 🙏

You can feel he truly loves cycling, and riders like him are a big part of why I love cycling. Thank you, Matej. The team has done Gino's memory proud during this tour.

Its great to see him describe the pain and suffering riders and all involved in this race. For him to articulate with his words and emotion, this is very powerful.

Big big respect to Matej! lifting all of those who are working for the team especially those who are behind the scenes and also their competitors. paying respect to his co riders. The best interview of all time

What a performance! Also, he spoke so quickly during the interview he added another K to the average speed of the day.

One of the best post race interviews I have seen in the past 20 years! Well done sir, it made me emotional when I hears him wishing everyone could win an stage... Respect.

if more people were like Matej, this world would be a much better place

What an exceptional interview, just pouring out his heart and soul😢

Watching the race yesterday i wished that the danish would win the stage, since the final brake succes was entirely his work. But boy, seeing this interview changed my mind completely. How many times you see a competitor recognizing the merits of his adversaries in a race? How many times you see a winner explaining so sincerally and with compassion the efforts of all arround him? How many times you see a person that is so genuine in his/her speach because Matej was speaking with his heart? In my opinion this interview should be shown and explained to the kids, because it contains so much humanity in it. Thank you Mr Mohoric for this speech!

When Matej was talking I almost started crying myself. He has his heart on is tongue an on the right place. And he shows what cycling and the guys he is and was riding with, mean to him. Matej, guys like you make cycling the best best thing in world❤

What a top Man. Fantastic to hear him talking about the sacrifices his staff make, getting up at 6am to prepare the team for the day and not going to bed til midnight. The forgotten superstars of the TdF.

Impressive ride. Impressive man. Phillipsen would do well to watch this and find some humility.

What a cutie, I haven’t seen a rider express so much self awareness, explaining the guilt using someone else’s wheel and beating them to the line (even though it’s part of the sport and fair play!). He’s very humble and recognizes everyone who works on the team as well as his fellow riders. What a great interview and great ride he did!

I did not expect to get emotionally moved to the point of crying while watching today's post-race interview of Matej Mohorič, winner of stage 19 of Le Tour de France. My emotions caught me off guard. I had to re-watch this interview a couple times to figure out why it hit me so hard in the feels... It's not simply because he was emotional himself. Lots of TdF stage winners cry tears of joy, because their longtime dream comes true at a moment when they're physically & emotionally exhausted. Crying winners are very common in the 3 big grand tours. I think what really makes this interview different, and what got me choked up, is the pure, unrehearsed EMPATHY and RESPECT he feels for ALL his competitors. It's beautiful. And rare. The 3 grand tours of cycling, especially the Tour de France, are the most difficult, grueling athletic competitions in the world. You have to push yourself to the limits of human endurance for apx 5 hours a day, every day, for over 3 weeks straight. It's like running an ultra-marathon every day for a month. And it's extremely dangerous- crashes happen every stage. Many riders have died. In fact, one of Mohorič's closest teammates, Gino Mäder, died just last month in the Tour of Switzerland (that's the "Gino" they're referencing). But I don't think Mohorič is crying over Gino, or himself... he's crying because he feels guilty for winning when EVERYBODY who has made it this far- 3 weeks into the Tour - and survived... they ALL deserve to win. He's like a soldier looking across the battlefield at his enemy, and seeing that they're no different from himself. He doesn't want to shoot his enemy, because everyone with the courage to fight a war this intense deserves the victory. He's not crying tears of joy for himself, because he beat his competitors. He's crying tears of empathy for his competitors, because he beat them. Chapeau to you Matej Mohorič ❤ #RideForGino

Once he mentioned Gino he knew he couldn't pause because when you lose such a close friend there is no pain known to man that hurts so much.

What a thoroughly decent, humble man. Enjoy your hard won win!

Probably my favourite interview of the whole tour! So glad he won today!

Mohorič is super intelligent. I remember watching a documentary about him on Slovenian television and he was always reading in the evenings, learning languages, etc., after a grueling day of training.

Congrats from a danish chap! I was cheering for Kasper, but you deserve the victory ❤

Man I don't even comment that much on KZfaq but that has to be one of the most honest and moving post race interviews! Just shows how much suffering and struggle you have to go through at the top and how harsh it is to miss out even after giving it all!

This is an amazing post race... One of the best in the world and to hear him say he doesn't feel as if he belongs is heart breaking. This is called humility. Bravo Matej!

You can tell he rides with his heart! This is what Sports is all about! Mad respect!

Crucifies me watching this interview again. A beautiful Soul that has every given right to be there. Never heard so a humble and honest interview in my life. What a sweet sweet chap. Chapeau!. Footballers are not fit to clean your shoes

wow. i only heard the audio for this on the livestream, but got teary eyed just listening. i don't recall any sports interview ever that made me a fan instantly. so humble. so human. so honest. congratulations Matej!

Unbelievable interview. This guy should write a book, the way he describes everything he is going through is so powerful. Very humble, honest and the awareness to show love and respect for the other riders too. We can learn so much from listening to this interview.

Just incredible. I don't remember I have ever heard so truthful and emotional post race interview. After long and exhausting race, he was pouring words out like no cyclist ever. And it is not even his native language.

His humbleness and emotion…. How can you not like this guy? Great interview.

I think this was the best interview I ever seen. He was sincere, true, and very emotional. I like him as a rider, but now, as person as well.

Ti si kralj!! Pozdravi i čestitke iz Hrvatske!! 🎉🙌🏼

I've come back to watch this interview several times over the last 6 months - so moving and speaking so much to what is great in the man and the sport. What a champion he is.

One of the most emotive, honest and articulate post race interviews. Chapeau

Best winners inerview ever.

Yeah, not everyone can win but there is certain number of guys who truly deserve it, and Matej Mohorič is one of them! He is always out there, pulling, working so hard, I'm so happy for him! And when you hear him speak like this, summarizing so beautifully all the pain and sacrifice pro cycling at this level demands, and how humble he is and understanding of everyone, makes us even more happy that he won!

Imagine being that articulate in your 2nd language. The guy is an inspiration ❤

HONESTLY ONE OF THE BEST, RESPECTFUL, EMOTIONAL INTERVIEW OF A SPORTSMAN I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE!!! Chapeux Bas Matej ❤

Not only his English good. But he unveil all the truth that cycling is the cruelest and hardest sport ever exist. It tests your endurance, physical, emotional, and pain tolerance. also level of maturity as well. All the best to Matej, would love to see him in the same team with Primoz or Pogi.

i like his honesty and openness to share how hard to be racer on this competition. Definitely a well fought win. Congrats and wish all riders and the fans the best

Greatest interview in sports. Analytical, emotional and proud.

So much humblety from a man who's just won a stage in Tour de France and last year was first at Milano Sanremo.

This needs to go viral. No one ever has captured the essence of the sport of road bike racing so well.

The post race interview will pass the test of time.. Was awesome to see..

Fantastic insights into his cycling heart. Captivating interview.

This is the best interwiew I’ve ever seen. I cried my eyes out when I saw it, and this is why i love cycling so much. There’s so much passion and suffering in this beautiful sport! From this day, my friend, you got yourself a new fan❤️

What an absolutely fabulous human being. Such humility. I’ve never seen a top athlete bare their soul like that. He’s so right. Every single one of those men that puts themselves through three weeks of pain, deserves the chance to feel the joy of a stage win, but most never will.

That hug at the end broke me 😭

Protect this man at all cost!

Best interview I have ever seen in cycling ! What a good guy . Well done Mohoric . You deserved it . Even though I'm danish and rooted for Asgren

YOU BELONG HERE, ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Congratulations Fans appreciate you!❤

Goosebumps and tears.❤ For this well spoken cycling champion. I was so glad he got a big hug after his honest and humble views. Respect in so many ways !

THE BEST interview in cycling. Give respect to this gentleman.

This was a beautiful interview. So much humility and respect for the other competitors. Love to see it. Thank you, Matej.

Brought a tear to my eye to see this interview. Filled with insight and wisdom. I imagine he gave voice to what all the riders and teams feel by now in the race. A man of quality. An extraordinary interview in an extraordinary tour.

This is the best post-race interview I've ever heard. Hats off to Matej, a great win for a great person.

So humble

The inspiration from this interview will be a part of who I am as a person from today onward...

I have watched this interview 10 times or so and every time I feel the emotion and the passion, the humility and the raw honesty of Matej Mohoric. Every time, tears roll down my face as the truth of what he's saying hits me right in the heart. Matej Morohic has a foundation in Slovenia.

Why cycling is so great in a nutshell. Chapeau Mr. Mohoric

Post race interviews are one of the best parts of the tour. It means so much to them all, whether young first stage winners, domestiques who spend most of their career helping others then having their day in the limelight, or riders nearing the end of their career. This tour has had them all, emotions on show and expressing the grit and determination required to win and the appreciation of the effort of their team and the others in the race. But this was the most articulate, and poignant interview of them all. Matej represents all that I love about this sport.

Iconic interview. When his career is over, this clip will still be shared and be just as relevant and insightful through the years.

Very big respect to Matej! So sympathetic, open and honest, really impressive! Chapeau!

Mohoric is such a great guy and a legend

Songer dans la victoire à la cruauté que c'est de ne pas gagner pour ses adversaires, c'est tout bonnement désarmant d'empathie. Vous êtes un gentilhomme M. Mohoric. Et déjà une légende.

One of the best post race interviews ever, finally someone not sugar coating what it takes but gives real indepth insight to how tough the professional cycling can be and what it takes, I really appreciate the raw emotion and authentic break down of a stage of a TDF! #ForGino

Liberté egalité fraternité HUMILITÉ 👏👏 Chapeau champion Mohoriç!

No words…. This is the most beautiful sport… they are all heroes, legends…

Best post interview ever! I'm a newer somewhat casual fan so I don't know much about this guy but Mohoric has definitely made me a new fan of his!

This was sooo moving 🥲 seeing tears in his eyes and hearing his voice crack when he mentioned Gino 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️

I cried watching this. I’m not sure what else to say.

Perfect video to show to new people to explain what pro cycling is

This interview deserves to be shown across the globe. Explains the beauty of cycling, of sport, of competition with the troubles and hardships therein. Just beautiful. Well done Matej... You did Gino proud.

You made me a fan today.what a heartwarming, humble and genuine interview. You have a beautiful heart and are gentleman to the core.❤️

Goosebumps. Inspiration!

Best interview in cycling of all time! Chapeau Matej!!

One of the best post-race interviews of all time accross all sports. These words will stay and live forever. Congratulations on the win and on the clarity!

What a man. So much respect for him!

My respect to you, Sir. You totally belong to the amazing group of cyclists on the tour. Your words were heartfelt. Next time someone asks for the definition of empathy, I'll show them this interview ❤

He also won my heart by his 😊respect to fellows competitors, what a great character.🎉🎉🎉

what a class act. many congratulations from Austria!

He deserves the world🥺✨

WOOOW... this is an example of sportsman! Congrats Matej!

This interview is so different to any other I’ve seen before. It gave a brilliant insight into what goes on with the mind of the elite athletes we all put on a pedestal. Matej is now my favourite rider on the circuit. I wish him more success.

Can’t stop crying 😢

Matej, you are a shining light ... a philosopher warrior of the highest level . You are inspiring!! Many thanks...

Awesome interview Matej. So genuine and respectful to all your other competitors.

Mahoric, you opened my eyes to this sport. Thank you and congratulations. You and your team deserve it.

What a gem! His strongest muscle, is by far, his empathy muscle!

Damn... This was first class. People are good❤

What an awesome interview. The spirit of cycling and the Tour summed up from a legend and a gentleman. Gino would be proud of you, sir.

Best interview ever seen. Absolute legend and spoke from the heart. Chapeau

GRANDE! How inspiring and honest, tears in my eyes. Thank you!

Absolute legend!

What a human being! To convey emotions so poetically and clearly in another language.. and to say what is at the heart of professional sport.. and show real admiration and compassion for your rivals and all with incredible humility..

This interview hit me right in the feels when I first saw it. Congrats to Matej and his team!

Such an incredible sweet an honest interview. Thank you Matej.
