When Pogacar wins Lombardia next Sunday (and thereby podiums), he will become the first rider in the history to podium all five Monuments within the same year.

Monuments+Worlds:
3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1?

Best classics season ever without a doubt.

I don't agree. He is just lucky to have a much better team when they both ride for their national team. You turn this in a w/kg contest and Pogacar will rip Remco. GdL will be a prime example of that.

I thought Slovenia did a pretty decent job for Pogacar in the Euro RR considering it’s barely more than a CT level roster other than Pogacar and a far from in form Mohoric for whom the parcours were too climby anyway.

A few other notable landmarks he would reach with a win would be:
- joint record holder with Coppi for GDL wins but most in a row on his own
- 3rd rider in history to reach 10 monument wins
- 2nd rider ever to win 3 monuments in a season (Merckx managed this a mind bending 4 times in his career)
- Lowest cumulative position total in history for all 5 monuments in 1 season.

Actually by the time Pogacar may be the record holder (or at least joint) for most wins on 3 of the 5 monuments, WC and Tour se France.
