2023 will go down as an incredibly successful year for
Tadej Pogacar. Although he was unable to reclaim his
Tour de France title, the Slovenian more than made up for it with success elsewhere.
One man who was certainly impressed by the
UAE Team Emirates leader, was Pogacar's fellow multiple-time Tour de France champion,
Chris Froome. “What Pogacar was able to do this season, racing at the highest level in the Grand Tours, but also managing to win classics like Flanders, is unthinkable for me and it is something that I respect a lot,” said the British rider in an interview with Spanish outlet Marca.
