The cycling world buzzed with excitement at the Glasgow 2023 World Championships when Slovenian sensation Tadej Pogacar crossed the finish line in the elite men's race to secure the bronze medal on a breathtaking 271-kilometer course between Edinburgh and Glasgow. This exceptional achievement not only earned him a place on the podium, but also catapulted him into a select group of cycling legends, equaling an insignificant statistic by Miguel Induráin.
Miguel Induráin, a Spanish icon, left an indelible mark on cycling history by winning the Tour de France five times, setting an impressive record for consecutive victories in the "Grande Boucle". In addition to his domination of the Tour, Induráin also left his mark on the World Cycling Championships with four medals to his name, including one gold, one bronze and two silver. His triumph is further enhanced by winning the gold medal in the Individual Time Trial (ITT) at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.
This historic legacy seemed indestructible, consolidating Induráin as the first cyclist in history to achieve victories in the Tour de France, an Olympic medal and a medal in the World Cycling Championships, a triptych that stands out as the most demanding achievements in the world of cycling. However, the emergence of the phenomenon Tadej Pogacar has shaken the foundations of this record.
With two consecutive Tour de France victories already to his name, plus a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games and, finally, his outstanding performance at the Glasgow 2023 World Championships, where he beat Mads Pedersen in a thrilling sprint finish, Tadej Pogacar has written himself into cycling history in golden letters. These extraordinary achievements have enabled the UAE Team Emirates rider to equal Miguel Induráin, tying a mark that only one of cycling's greatest names had previously achieved.
This huge achievement not only highlights the undeniable skill and talent of Tadej Pogacar, but also opens the door to an exciting chapter in the history of world cycling. The matching of this legendary feat between two cyclists from different eras demonstrates the constant evolution and fierce competition in the world of elite cycling. Pogacar's career continues to defy boundaries, and Induráin's legacy now has a worthy and daring partner at the pinnacle of international cycling's most prestigious achievements.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
