Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias
The framing is largely neutral, focusing on the cyclist's emotions, strategies, and assessment of the race. While celebrating his victory, he also gives credit to his competitors, particularly Pogacar. The headline (if any) would influence the framing more significantly, but based solely on the interview text, no strong framing bias is evident.
Language Bias
The language used is largely objective and descriptive. The cyclist expresses strong emotions (e.g., "horribles," "content") but these are presented within the context of his subjective experience, not as biased characterizations of events.
