That’s it, my last UCI Road World Championship race is over!
I have represented my home country, Slovakia, on the world stage, on roads on three continents, and I have been proud to wear our national colors while fighting to be crowned the world’s best rider.

I had the immense honor and privilege of winning three consecutive editions, in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and my three years in the rainbow jersey will always be a highlight of my career. 





Thanks to UCI and the organizers for another exciting race and congratulations to Mathieu for his well-deserved win.
