Be careful what you wish for. Mauro Vegni and RCS Sport have been courting Tadej Pogačar to ride the Giro d’Italia for years, but now that he’s finally agreed to turn up, there’s a risk that his very presence and likely dominance, makes the race a foregone conclusion.
That isn’t to denigrate the opposition Pogačar will face in Italy next month in the slightest, it’s simply a sober reflection on the current state of play in the men's peloton. A very restricted cadre of riders and teams are operating on a different plane to everybody else, as results this Spring have again borne out and Pogačar is leading that dominance.
