For 25 years, Marco Pantani was the final rider to win each the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia in a single season, however the well-known Italian now has a successor. Tadej Pogacar didn’t encounter any issues in the closing time trial to Nice right this moment and managed to realize the double.
“This is the first Grand Tour where I was totally confident everyday, even in the Giro I remember I had one bad day but I won’t tell which one!”, mentioned Pogacar after successful the final stage time trial. “This Tour de France was superb, I was having fun with from day 1 till right this moment and I had such nice help behind me. I simply couldn’t let anybody down so I was having fun with it for them as effectively.
“Maybe some people would think the Giro was a safety net if I don’t succeed in the Tour de France, and for sure it would be if I didn’t succeed. To win the Tour de France is another level and to win both together is another level above that level! I’m really happy we did it.”
