Indeed. Dominance affirmed.

Perhaps my favorite cycling video of all time.

Tadej again. Solos to victory from 37 kilometers out. Pidcock second. Evanepoel abandoned.

This has been the best year I've seen in my years of really watching cycling.

Matteo Jorgenson tried to follow Tadej at the Giro dell'Emilia ... and learned a lesson he could learn in no other way.

That wasn't clear.  What I meant was that Pogecar's 2024 season is the best season by any cyclist that I've ever seen. It could very well be the best in history by any cyclist ever.  Two major tour wins, the World Championship etc ...   And not just the victories but the way he did it. I mean, who attacks 100 km from the finish at the world championship?  Simply astounding.

It's up there.  The only cyclist who likely comes close is Merckx.

il Lombardia today boys. My favorite race and roads to ride.

Totally. One of the greatest parcours in cycling. And another ridiculous display of dominance

I'm just glad he held off as long as he did.
