In the last two weeks, Tadej Pogačar has won the UCI Road World Championships, the European Championships, and a record-breaking fifth Il Lombardia, but his streak was brought to a shock end on Sunday, when he was beaten by a British hill climber at his own event.
Forty-year-old Andrew Feather, a full-time lawyer and four-time national hill-climb champion, was the only rider to hold off the world champion at the Pogi Challenge, a new event set on the Slovenian’s local Krvavec climb, in which more than 900 people took part.
