Tadej Pogačar expressed a blend of happiness, relaxation, and introspection upon clinching the Giro d’Italia in Rome’s historic center. He not only won six stages but also maintained substantial leads of 9:56 and 10:24 over Dani Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), respectively.
Despite being aware of Tadej Pogačar’s likely tactics, his rivals found his attack during Sunday’s queen stage of the Giro d’Italia challenging to counter, admitted Geraint Thomas in a post-race interview.
