Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia) found himself in a truly elite selection in the final laps of the World Championships Road Race in Glasgow, eventually settling for bronze behind a blistering solo effort from Mathieu van der Poel and a last-minute attack from silver medallist Wout van Aert.
“It was one of one of the hardest days on the bike,” Pogačar said afterward. “I mean, one of the hardest races, and I can say that I'm really, really happy to finish on the podium next to these names.”
