Tadej Pogacar caps incredible season with record-equaling fifth Tour of Lombardy title

BERGAMO, Italy: Tadej Pogacar crossed the finish line first at the Tour of Lombardy and held up his open hand, each finger representing the record-equaling five times he won the Italian classic. It capped an incredible season, which includes a fourth Tour de France title, with a successful defense of the world road race crown as he matched Fausto Coppi’s five wins at the Italian race on Saturday. “Seven years in a row I’ve said this is my best season so far, and I can say it again today,” Pogacar said after thanking his UAE Emirates teammates for their part in his victory.
