It wasn't the perfect return to racing for Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) at the Grand Prix de Québec, with the superstar Slovenian taking seventh and admitting he made a mistake by not attacking earlier in the finale once he'd got away with three Lotto Dstny riders, allowing the bunch to come back and take victory.
Pogačar tried to make a race-winning move 2.2km from the line with a trademark stinging attack, only for defending champion Arnaud De Lie (Lotto Dstny) and two of his domestiques to closely follow, shutting down his chance at solo glory.
