The stage-races that Tadej Pogacar did not win as a pro rider - And the riders who beat him since 2019
CyclingFriday, 04 October 2024 at 10:57
Tadej Pogacar is the best cyclist in the world and in 2024 he has completed what is probably the best season in history, surpassing Eddy Merckx's 1972. The Slovenian is an exceptional classicist and an insatiable stage-racer, but he has not always won. We take a look at the races where he didn't win and who did at the time.
The first to do so was Daryl Impey at the 2019 Tour Down Under: he also fell that first year to Ion Izagirre, Diego Ulissi and Primoz Roglic in his only participation in the Vuelta a España. He fell in 2020 to Adam Yates and Daniel Martinez. Here's the detailed list courtesy of the folks at Cycling Statistics:
2019 (6 races / 2 wins for Pogacar):
- Tour Down Under: Daryl Impey (TP: 13th)
- Itzulia Basque Country: Ion Izagirre (6th)
- Tour of Slovenia: Diego Ulissi (4th)
- Vuelta a España: Primož Roglič (3rd)
2020 (4 races / 2 wins for Pogacar):
- UAE Tour: Adam Yates (2nd)
- Critérium du Dauphiné: Daniel Felipe Martínez (4th)
2021 (5 races / 4 wins for Pogacar):
- Itzulia Basque Country: Primož Roglič (3rd)
2022 (4 races / 3 wins for Pogacar):
- Tour de France: Jonas Vingegaard (2nd)
2023 (3 races / 2 wins for Pogacar):
- Tour de France: Jonas Vingegaard (2nd)
2024 (3 races / 3 wins for Pogacar):

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
