The chances of seeing Tadej Pogačar target both the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in 2024 appear to be fading, with the hilly Road World Championships in Zürich in late September offering him a chance to win the rainbow jersey for the first time in his career.
The 2024 Giro d'Italia route appears designed to tempt Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates to target a Giro-Tour double, with 20% less climbing than in recent editions and a route that suits the Slovenian's strengths. However, even Pogačar would surely struggle to peak for the Giro in May, for the Tour de France in July and then again in late September for the World Championships.
