And 4 for Tadej Pogacar! The Slovenian won the Tour of Lombardy for the 4th time in a row. He won alone in Como after attacking 48.5 kilometers from the finish.
After winning, among others, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tour of Italy, the Tour de France and the World Road Race in Zurich, Pogacar concluded a stratospheric season by winning the classic of the dead leaves. He crossed the line 3’16 ahead of Remco Evenepoel, who tried to catch up with his rival, without success.
Coppi in the viewfinder
This 7th victory in a Monument, Tadej Pogacar also owes it to his teammates. In the ascent of the Sormano pass, the Bernese Marc Hirschi, Adam Yates, and especially Pavel Sivakov, brought the peloton back to the breakaway and put Pogacar into orbit. As is often the case this season, no one was able to follow the Slovenian’s attack.
With this 4th success in a row, “Pogi” equals Fausto Coppi, quadruple winner between 1946 and 1949. The Italian, however, won 5 times in the Tour of Lombardy. A record that should not last long against the Slovenian ogre.
