The news broke yesterday in the third episode of back to Andalusia and this is nothing but the Slovenian failure Tadej Pogacar, who at the beginning of this season has shown himself to be unstoppable with amazing success in Jaen Classic, where he will add two of the first two stages of the Andalusian round in the first three days of competition; three victories already preceded by two where he closed 2022 in Three Parisian Valleys and in Il Lombardy. A poker game that once again showed the cannibal soul of the Klanec runner and removed all the doubts that appeared in ‘Pogi’ at the beginning of this exercise.
When the double champion of Tour de France announced his program on February 6 in which he resigned Touring the UAE, the most important race of the season for its sponsor, from which the cycling team takes its name, some rumors have appeared, especially since this has been their practice for the past two years. But this change in policy, along with gastroenteritis suffered in January, and the fact that the world champion Remco Evenepoel If he announced his presence in the UAE, he created a climate of uncertainty around a Pogacar who quickly managed to remove all doubts.
In his first race, the atypical, important and well found Almeria Classic, Tadej won with insulting authority, attacking more than 40 kilometers from the finish line. Even the forced change of bicycle did not discuss his reign. A hegemony that he maintained in the first two episodes in Andalusia, which shows an alarming superiority and leaves the feeling that if he sets his mind to it, he has no rival. This is not the first time that a head-to-toe cycling champion has put together so many achievements. In the past, the real cannibals Eddy Merckx He has added some poker and in 2018 the French Arnaud Demare won five episodes of Tour of Poitou-Charentesnot to mention the Belgian Freddy Maertens, who was capable of incredible records at the end of the eighties, especially in 1977, the victory in Paris-Beautiful including five episodes, in Catalan Weekend and four stages, the five in Volta or the 13 in The return.
Waiting for major challenges against rivals like Vingegaard, Evenepoel or Roglicyesterday Pogacar ran with the brakes and gave freedom to one of his luxurious gregarious, count Tim Wellens, so that he can argue the victory. An occasion that the Belgian did not forgive, Tadej keeps the jersey of the leader of back to Andalusiayellow, as in Tour de France.
