Pogacar & Milan-Sanremo: A Cycling Legend Forged

Once the tooth of the Milan-Sanremo has been removed, the most painful of these years, Tadej Pogacar wants to go where no one has ever gone: winning all the Monuments in a row, one after the other. He longs for the Roubaix, the only gem that has so far escaped, nestled in the spring between Flanders and Liège, then in the autumn another Giro di Lombardia. In short, he doesn’t intend to leave even a crumb in the Classics, an undertaking forbidden to humans, then adding the fifth Tour de France of his career. They are races so far apart in terms of characteristics, philosophy and calendar that mastering them all is very difficult, let alone in a single year. Only Eddy Merckx, Roger De Vlaeminck and Rik Van Looy were able to triumph in all the Monument Classics in their careers, but never within a single season. In short, the Slovenian wants to cover unknown territory, rare in the history of sport and difficult for every discipline, yet the perfect season exists. It is a precise time in which a game is completely in the hands of a single man or a single woman: that’s where Pogacar looks, that’s where the legend begins.
