The start of the season
For his first race, Pogačar crushes the competition on the Strade Bianche. Little surprise, during Paris-Nice where the American Matteo Jorgenson won in front of Remco Evenepoel.
The classics campaign
The Alpecin team is the big winner of this campaign, since it wins the first three monuments of the season. Jasper Philipsen at Milan San-Remo and Van der Poel at the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. For Liège-Bastogne-Liège, it is obviously Pogačar who wins ahead of Romain Bardet.
The Grand Tours
At the Giro, new demonstration from Pogačar. For the Tour de France, he leaves only crumbs to his opponents. Despite everything, honor is except for the French. Bardet, Vauquelin and Turgis managed to win their stage. Finally, Primož Roglič is winner of the Vuelta for the fourth time.
The Olympic Games
-In this Olympic year, the streets of Paris saw Remco Evenepoel shine, titled on the road and in the time trial. Among the women, Kristen Faulkner won on the road and Grace Brown in the time trial. In the medal table, France is the first nation with nine awards. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and Benjamin Thomas win gold, without forgetting the fabulous hat-trick in BMX.
The end of the season
Tadej Pogačar concludes his magnificent season by winning the world title and once again the Tour of Lombardy.
Women's cycling is also highlighted in this book. First of all, at the Tour de France Femmes, the Polish Niewiadoma won to everyone's surprise ahead of Demi Vollering, just 4 seconds behind. Then to note, the first victory of a French woman, that of Cédrine Kerbaol.
Without forgetting, the Belgian Lotte Kopecky who also had a remarkable season. She is not only world champion on the road but also world champion in the time trial.
