Cycling - Tour de Lombardie 2024 - Tadej Pogacar : "48,5 km... It looks far but..."
Comme très souvent cette saison (trop, diront certains), Tadej Pogacar s'est montré écrasant ce samedi à l'occasion de la 118e édition du Tour de Lombardie. Vainqueur en solitaire à Côme après avoir distancé tous ses adversaires à 48,5 kilomètres de l'arrivée, le Slovène de 26 ans a creusé un écart impressionnant sur la ligne puisque son dauphin, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step), soit l'un des tout meilleurs coureurs du monde, lui a concédé 3 minutes et 16 secondes ! Ce quatrième succès consécutif sur la Classiques des feuilles mortes permet au champion du monde de devenir le deuxième homme, après l'Italien Fausto Coppi à la fin des années 1940, à remporter le même Monument quatre fois consécutivement.
