Bahrain Victorious is delighted to announce its partnership with Fresh Corner as the team’s official coffee partner for a year.

Following a press conference in Slovenia, Fresh Corner announced the partnership, with Matej Mohoric in attendance. The premium coffee brand also released its latest signature blend of Arabica and Robusta and their premium 100% Arabica coffee to the Slovenian market.

The riders and staff will now be able to enjoy the signature blend, a uniquely prepared blend of coffee that includes flavours from South America, Africa, and Asia, such as cocoa, chocolate, and roasted hazelnuts, and the 100% Premium Fresh Corner Arabica from the Minas Gerais region of Brazil. Both types of coffee are prepared based on special recipes at their roaster in Hungary, which the MOL Group owns.

Matej Mohorič said at the press conference: “Coffee is part of the culture in cycling. Cyclists make things complicated when it comes to coffee. We pay a lot of attention to the preparation of the coffee itself. Most of us have professional coffee machines and especially grinders at home, and we drink a lot of it. I drink cappuccino in the morning to warm up, and then I drink espresso, sometimes even ten a day, so I use a lot, one kilogram of coffee beans in three to four days. The team and I thoroughly tested Fresh Corner coffee, and I like the 100% Arabica best. Coffee and cycling are very much connected. Caffeine is a substance that acts on the nervous system and has been proven to improve performance, which cyclists take advantage of. Otherwise, drinking coffee is a great pleasure for me, especially if it is fine and brewed with love, so I am looking forward to coffee cooperation with Fresh Corner.”

Valerija Glavač, director MOL Slovenija and MOL & INA commented on the reason for the partnership: “We know how important great coffee is in sports, so we are proud that the top Bahrain Victorious team chose our Fresh Corner coffee as their official coffee. This is an additional confirmation of its quality and taste. Team Bahrain Victorious consists of members who also come from other countries that are members of the MOL Group and have their retail networks in these countries, i.e. service stations where they offer top-quality Fresh Corner coffee. The MOL quality is the same at the level of the entire Group, it is top-notch, and we are looking forward to working with such a successful and promising team, to whom I wish a successful season.”
