It certainly wasn’t as easy as his first victory, but Tadej Pogačar now stands in rarefied company as a multiple winner of the Tour of Flanders. After battling with his main rivals deep into the race he finally went clear over the Kwaremont and held a slim margin to the finish. While I’ve already published a particularly juicy men’s Tour of Flanders tech gallery, I managed to sneak some shots of Pogačar’s race bike while he was doing his post-race press conference. Think of it as my little treat.
The bike is relatively stock, with no crazy mods or unusual components. Even his tyres are his usual 30mm Continental GP5000S TR units. What’s special about it then? Well, it's a world champion’s bike, still covered in the grime of winning a monument, and that’s pretty special even if the bike is stock.
