Tadej Pogačar has said that comparisons between himself and Eddy Merckx, the Belgian considered to be the greatest cyclist of all time, are “complete nonsense”.
The Slovenian is a two-time world champion and four-time Tour de France winner. This season, he has the chance to join two exclusive clubs alongside Merckx by winning a fifth Tour and completing the set of all five Monuments; Pogačar is targeting victories at Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix to add to his previous at the Tour of Flanders, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Il Lombardia.
