Unfortunately, Matej Mohorič suffered a bad fall during the recce of the UCI Gravel World Series Sea Otter Europe Girona course. Due to his injuries, he will not be able to start on Saturday. He will return home to recover and focus on the upcoming World Championships on Gravel.
I think my form has steadily been going back to normal after the disaster of the Tour, with not feeling well and not being at anywhere close to my normal level. I was well in Poland, but I've not recovered yet fully from the fatigue of the Tour. Then I was better at Renewi - I didn't end up with a top result, but still, I was in the mix.
Mohorič is set to take part in both the Road World Championships on Sunday September 29 as well as the Gravel World Championships on October 6 in Belgium. His role in the Road World Championships in Slovenia is set to be conditioned by the presence of star riders Primoz Roglič and Tadej Pogačar in the same line-up.
Given his success last year, Mohorič is labelled as a major pre-race favourite in the Gravel World Championship, making his absence at the Sea Otter Girona a significant setback.
