Another brilliant performance from Tadej Pogačar, winning Liège–Bastogne–Liège for a third time in terrific style. He is now level with Kelly, Coppi, and Girardengo, all on nine Monument victories, two behind De Vlaeminck on eleven, and nine behind Merckx on nineteen. At this rate of win, he...

What a tremendous performance by Mathieu van der Poel, winning the Paris–Roubaix for a third consecutive time. Distancing Tadej Pogačar, who competed in his first Hell of the North, into second place by 1:18 probably would not have occurred but for the unfortunate crash. Chapeau, sir!

There was a time when only a few men could run as fast as this in the Marathon. She's faster than 1972 Olympic Marathon champion Frank Shorter, who had a personal best of 2:10:30. https://www.runnersworld.com/races-places/a62589777/ruth-chepngetich-world-record-stats/ Ruth Chepngetich...

Another phenomenal performance from Pogačar, winning Lombardia in tremendous style with a long-range solo attack. The Slovenian won the race with a 3:16 margin of victory, which is the largest since Eddy Merckx won by 3:31 in 1971. The culmination of a brilliant season, the greatest by a single...

Three-time champion Pogačar is the clear favourite. If he wins for the fourth time, he will tie with Alfredo Binda, who had a total of four victories in 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1931. A fourth win for the Slovenian would see him equal the feat of Fausto Coppi, who had four consecutive triumphs in...

Pogačar continues to amaze with his absolutely superb solo victory at today's Giro dell'Emilia. With the Giro di Lombardia yet to come, this should go down as the single greatest season by a rider in the entire history of cycling.

And not forgetting that as of 2022, Annemiek van Vleuten is the only woman to attain the female equivalent of cycling's triple crown.

An absolutely incredible performance from Pogačar, crushing his rivals in devastating fashion once again to win his first world title; this guy is in a different league. Chapeau sir!

1) Tadej Pogačar, Gold 2) Remco Evenepoel, Silver 3) Mathieu van der Poel, Bronze Pogačar to win, and in doing so become only the third male cyclist in history, together with Eddy Merckx and Stephen Roche, to accomplish cycling's triple crown—the Giro, the Tour, and World Road Racing...
