The former coach of the national cycling team: “Tadej is the master of 2025 and will dominate again, he doesn’t wear out because he knows how to say no to many. Now he wants to win what he lacks, starting with Milan-Sanremo”
And 2025 is gone too, and from a cycling point of view it had a master: Tadej Pogacar. The Slovenian made it clear from a young age that he was predestined. As a junior he won the most important race: the Giro della Lunigiana. As an Under 23 he won the Tour de l’Avenir and, as soon as he turned professional, in 2019, the second stage race in which he participated (Volta Algarve) and after a month the Tour of California, before winning three stages at the Vuelta and placing third in the standings. From 2020 onwards it has been a Rossini crescendo and only two riders have put him in difficulty: Jonas Vingegaard in two Tours and Mathieu Van der Poel in Sanremo and Roubaix.
