Another feat of Pogacar in Flanders on the same day as the Belgian champion, who projects him into the Olympus of cycling
Still him! Tadej Pogacar adds a Flanders to his, already stellar, career. He does it at Merckx, indeed like Eddy who won his second classic of the walls exactly 50 years ago (it was April 6) with his own world championship. Tadej punching Van der Poel, once again the real opponent, on all the last tears in pavé to put those two meters of light in the most demanding stretch of the old Kwaremont, which became, 5, 10, 20 and hello. In the campaign between Kwaremont and Paterberg, Pogacar slipped elegantly in those asphalt languages in the very green Flemish countryside. It looked like a knight in white and rainbow tuxedo. His particular pace swaying to Charlie Chaplin and the tuft that comes out of the helmet make it already iconic, they are weaves that help build the mosaic of its legend. His arrival on the Oudenarde Vialone with the small rivals there is also sumptuous and elegant also home to the bottom with a good minute of delay. Mads Pedersen and Mathieu van der Poel, two other world champions, rose on the royal podium. For the record, which in his case immediately became history, Tadej won the average record of 44.981 times.
