After a dominant spring with victories in the Vuelta a Andalucia and Paris-Nice, then a stunning Classics campaign, Tadej Pogačar is a favourite to take home the 'Ardennes Triple' - a feat accomplished by only three riders in history: Davide Rebellin (2004), Philippe Gilbert (2011) and, in the short history of the women's races, Anna van der Breggen in 2017.
Pogačar's win in the Amstel Gold Race confirmed his unmatched climbing abilities already shown with his astonishing Tour of Flanders victory. The UAE Team Emirates rider's next obstacles are La Flèche Wallonne then Liège-Bastogne-Liège and its defending champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep).
