Another year, another Tadej Pogačar exhibition at Strade Bianche. The World Champion delivered on his favourite status on the Tuscan gravel on Saturday and, in almost choreographed fashion, soloed from range to a record-breaking fourth title.
After his 50km solo in 2022 and his 19km effort last year, this was a throwback to the 2024 edition, when Pogačar rode alone from all of 81km out. This was a shade shorter, at 79km, but the move was made on that same critical gravel sector of the Monte Sante Marie, and the result was the same – he was never seen again.
