Tadej Pogacar said he was looking forward to taking some time off and enjoying the "small things" in life after making Tour de France history on Sunday.
Pogacar joined an elite club of riders to have won the sport's greatest race five times: Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain. But he was not interested in thinking about joining such lofty company.
"Right now, I just want to enjoy the moment of winning the Tour," he said. "If it's the fifth or the first, it doesn't matter — it's unbelievable to wear the yellow jersey and to cross the line in Paris winning it.
"I will just enjoy this moment, not thinking about any history, not thinking about joining any club. I just want to live this moment, come back home, relax, enjoy the small things of life.
