- To be honest, Pogi doesn't need to win the Vuelta or Paris Roubaix...(but he will)... he just needs to win one more TdF and he will be in a club of his own, the only one in the world. If Pogi wins Lombardia in the fall, he will be the only cyclist in history to win 4 monuments and one second place (Paris Roubaix) in the same year. No one came close to that, not even Merckx. Yep... Pogi is already the G.O.A.T. Capish y'all?... Andrew? frieders3? Rafionain-Glas? anonymouscyclist? Mistermoumou? CAPISH?PogiSloFans05-08-2026
