When did you know that Tadej Pogacar would be the greatest rider of a generation? For me, it was stage 5 of the 2021 Tirreno-Adriatico, the hilly stage where he went solo from the favourites group and almost caught MVDP. That day, I became convinced that he would be a multi-monument and GT winner, capable of winning almost any type of WT race. I have won lots of money on him since then, particularly when people were still underrating him in one-day races.
When did you know?
When did you know, amidst the race's fervent throng,
That Pogačar would emerge, resolute and strong?
Was it in the hills, where dreams begin to soar,
On that fateful day, at Tirreno-Adriatico's core?
Stage 5, a tale etched in cycling lore,
Where Pogačar's prowess left fans wanting more.
From the favorites' group, he boldly broke free,
Chasing MVDP with relentless decree.
His solo surge, a symphony of might,
Almost catching the Dutchman in his sight.
A whisper in the wind, a prophecy untold,
Foretelling greatness in the stories yet unfold.
In that moment, a vision crystal clear,
Of a rider destined to conquer,
without fear.Multi-monument triumphs, Grand Tour acclaim,
His destiny written in cycling's illustrious name.
Underrated, perhaps, by those unaware,
Yet you saw the brilliance, the aura rare.
With each pedal stroke, your faith did bloom,
As Pogačar carved his path through cycling's gloom.
Oh, when did you know, with certainty and grace,
That Pogačar would rise to cycling's highest place?
In the echoes of that stage, your belief did grow,
A testament to greatness, in the cycling flow.
