The Unstoppable Pogačar
As he obliterated the competition to win Il Lombardia 2024, Tadej Pogačar has punctuated a galactic season with a statement victory, already boasting the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, World Championship, and two Monument Classics. We really make an effort not to bring up Eddy Merckx every time – each era has its superstars and heroes after all – but to grasp the magnitude of what Pogačar is pulling off, such a comparison is, quite simply, necessary. Only Eddy did better, winning three Monuments along with the Giro, Tour, and Worlds in 1972.
