Tadej Pogacar set new records on 288 Strava segments on his way to a third overall victory at the Tour de France this month.
The Slovenian has dominated the race on the road, but also virtually. New data from exercise-sharing app Strava has shown the extent of Pogačar's dominance, revealing him to have broken 288 KOMs, all the while becoming the platform's most followed athlete.
Among his greatest feats, Pogacar earned the KOM on the Plateau de Beille with a remarkable time of 39:39, annihilating a 26-year old climbing record in the process. Prior to the Slovenian's win, the record for the climb stood at 43:28 and was set by Marco Pantani.
It didn't stop there, as Pogacar also claimed new best times on Col du Galibier, Isola 2000, Col de la Couillole. Strava also confirmed that Pogacar is now the most followed athlete on the platform, taking the crown from Wout van Aert, with a following of 728,087 people.

- Does everything need to have a point? If so, 99% of the internet should be wiped away. In relation to recent articles with quotes from other riders, my statement points to the ever more obvious reason why they are asked to comment on the effect of his return.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
