The main theme of the E3 Saxo Classic was the marked superiority of three riders, and you'd forgive a host of big Classics names for a total loss of hope just over a week out from the Tour of Flanders

Matej Mohorič, however, is not among them. The Bahrain Victorious rider was forced to watch through gritted teeth and blurring vision as Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, and Tadej Pogačar forced their way clear on the Oude Kwaremont, but brushed off the idea of Flanders as a three-horse race.
