Slovenian Tadej Pogacar admitted he approached this Tour with the aim of winning it for the third time, but pointed out that second place, third place for his teammate Adam Yates, the best young man’s white jersey and two stage victories make him “one of the best” he has run.
“In the end it has been a formidable Tour, I have to be proud. We have two riders on the podium, the white jersey, two stage victories. It’s one of my best Tour that I’ve done,” said the UAE cyclist.
On the day that Tour winner, Danish Jonas Vingegaard, announced that he would compete in the Tour of Spain, Pogacar did not reveal his next goals.
“We will have to see in the next few days, but the last two I have felt so good that I don’t want to get off the bike now, I will try to continue being good until the end of the season,” he commented.
Pogacar assured that perhaps in the future he will have to be more selective in the races he joins.
“I might have to miss a race, not run the Tour of Flanders for example. But I want to participate in all the races, the year I did in so many races was very good,” he assured.
