"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!

- 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

- 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

- 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
