While only Pogacar is heading to Italy, just before that a big clash is anticipated at
Liege-Bastogne-Liege, where we he'll face (at least) two former champions in Roglic and Evenepoel.
If Giro d'Italia is quite overlooked in 2024, the same cannot be said about
Tour de France, where the major forces should normally collide. And if everything goes well, the fans are up for a great spectacle. Shortly after Le Grande Boucle, the Paris Olympics are on the menu, and all four have expressed their desire to represent their country, even if the parcours don't particularly suit neither of them.
In Autumn, only Vingegaard is so far aiming for La Vuelta, but as we've learned in the past, more riders will be seeking redemption for their seasons at the Spanish race and so the startlist is far from complete.
However
World Championships are a different story. A circuit around Zurich promises a similar race to 2018 Innsbruck, a golden opportunity for all the climbers to put on the rainbow for a year. Normally, all four will be there.
The last but not least - Il Lombardia. As far, only the three-time champion Pogacar announced intention to start the race, but once again, he's unlikely to be the only of the four with desire to win the October monument.
