"World Championships" - Tadej Pogacar says neither Giro d'Italia or Tour de France are his top priority in 2024

In 2024, Tadej Pogacar will attempt to become the first man since Marco Pantani to take home victory at both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France in the same year.
When asked by Road Code which of the two Grand Tours will be his biggest goal for 2024 however, the Slovenian came up with a totally different answer. "World Championships!" Pogacar replies with a laugh and a wry smile.
The 25-year-old finished on the podium in the men's elite road race at the 2023 World Championships in Glasgow, third behind winner Mathieu van der Poel and runner-up, Wout van Aert. With this taking place in Zurich, could the Slovenian superstar finally get his hands on the coveted Rainbow Jersey?
If he succeeds in his goals and manages to add the world title and the Giro d'Italia win to a third Tour de France title, Pogacar could be set for the greatest season of all-time!

ScottG28-04-2025 - Tadej is rewriting the rules of the sport and how to win races.. he's unique, no doubt July will come and he'll be in his next form peak.slappers6628-04-2025
- Blueprint? Well if someone can outclimb him maybe. Visma seemed to have a good game back in the 2022 Tour when all the climbers attacked him. He's strong now and more experienced. There is only one guy at his level and I think he's a bit gun shy now. We'll have to see but I keep waiting to hear that Jonas is going to retire...awp28-04-2025
- I would tend to agree with Contador, but Tadej is different. I wonder the opposite for Jonas, but he's different as well. The Tour is a race between these two unless there is a crash.awp28-04-2025
- The space height level of Tp has to reduce at some point, cupla yrs back he some done some classics and suffered in the tour...
leedorney28-04-2025 - Some of these ex pro talk stupidly. Pogi has power numbers that no matter how many teammates you have one cannot match. San Remo and Roubaix, WC2024, Strade is the classic case. Nobody even with teamamtes was able the chase him. On top of that his teammates are also the strongest. They usually drop the support of other leaders.abstractengineer28-04-2025
- Healy and Ciccone are the best of the rest they deserve it in the podium. LTK are the strongest teams with Pogi's UAD.
