The Slovenian Tadej Pogacarwinner of the 2020 and 2021 Tour and second in the last two editions, assured that the 2024 route is “exciting” and considering that The general election will be resolved “in the last three days, which will be decisive.”
“It’s a good route. I like the first week, it’s a little harder than in previous years. We need to get in good shape from the beginning. Lots of unevenness, finishes for sprinters, two-time test, it’s exciting,” said the UAE rider, who did not attend the presentation of the 2024 Tour route in Paris.
Pogacar, who in the last two editions could not get rid of the Dane Jonas Vingegaard from the first step of the podium, said that “Mountain stages are pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary.”
“But I think I’m doing well, the last three days are going to be decisive. It’s not a classic Tour finish, there’s usually a tough day in the last three days. This time they are the last three very difficult,” said the Slovenian.
“The time trial between Monaco and Nice is very interesting“I really want to survive, but we have to come with a good foot to win,” he commented.
Pogacar, who lives in Monte Carlo, considers it “special” that the Tour will go through the roads he normally trains on: “It makes me happy. It’s a Tour where I have high hopes.”
