“When I was younger, I was never thinking that I can win a stage in the Tour de France,” Pogačar tells CNN Sport. “After I won the first Tour de France – because that’s an ultimate goal in cycling – everything is more or less a bonus. “But three now, three Tours de France and maybe 10 more years of my career if I’m well. That includes one-day classics, which require an explosivity normally sacrificed by Tour de France contenders in favor of endurance. He said last year that Pogačar can “win everything” and called the young rider a “blessing” for cycling fans.

Pogacar’s championship was confirmed in the final time trial from Monaco to Nice on Sunday. He capped his stellar three-week run with another stage win, his sixth, finishing 1:03 ahead of Vingegaard to take the Tour by 6:17 overall. “After two hard years in the Tour de France, always some mistakes,” Pogacar said.
