You all know about the gendarmes raid of Bahrain Victorious’ hotel a couple of nights ago. Nothing produced from that yet, so nothing to say about it, but I give you here the worst-chosen victory salute ever, from Matej Mahoric just minutes ago on Stage 19.

Yes, this is a Bahrain Victorious rider saying ‘shhh’. He followed up with a ‘zip-your-mouth’ movement that we all unfortunately remember from this guy.
I guess Mahoric was probably hardly born yet when Lance pulled this omerta trick, but I can’t but think this will not go unnoticed.
MAybe he’d never seen Lance’s zipped lips. Maybe he had. Maybe he got caught up in the moment. Either which way you look at it, it’s all way to coincidental….
It is indeed.
I had the same reaction!
