Tadej Pogačar seals his 117th career victory with a stunning win at the Tour de Romandie, marking his 20th overall title in a stage race. This achievement raises eyebrows about which prestigious races remain on his radar.
Pogačar's choice to compete in Romandie, a race he had never ridden before, is intriguing, especially given its uncertain future. With financial troubles looming, will he return to the Swiss race? His busy schedule, flying in just 48 hours after winning Liège-Bastogne-Liège, reflects the challenges of balancing the Classics and stage races.
Pogačar isn't just stacking titles; he aims to diversify his palmarès. His ambition to conquer all five Monuments of cycling is evident, having already claimed victory at Milan-San Remo and narrowly missing out in Paris-Roubaix.
His evolving strategy includes debuting at the Tour de Suisse in June, showcasing his desire to explore various stage races rather than sticking to a fixed program. “There’s still a lot of big races left, but let's go one by one and see how far we can come,” Pogačar stated after his Romandie triumph. Cycling fans eagerly await which monumental events he will tackle next.
