the slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) has been declared the final winner of the 28th edition of the Tour of Slovenia sometimes the fifth and final stage between Vrhnika and Novo Mesto, of 155.7 km, where the double winner of the Tour de France won the sprint ahead of his compatriot Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious).
double for Pogacar, in a sweet state of form, signed a day of pride and authority, despite the opposition of his friend Mohoric, whom he surpassed centimeters in line. Both starred in the final breakaway with Majka, who gave up 3 seconds at the straight end.
It was a two against one, a “déjà vu” in the Slovenian round, dominated by the tandem Pogacar-Majka, also a double stage winner and king of the mountain. He was accompanied to the podium by Rafal Majka, 3 seconds behind, and another Slovenian, Domen Novak (Bahrain), 2.32 minutes away.
pokecar, winner of the Tour de France twice in a row, with 38 victories to his credit, including two Tirrenos, Liège-Bastogne, Strade Bianche, Lombardy, 6 stages of the Tour, 3 at the Vuelta, he sent a warning to sailors before the imminent departure of the “grande boucle” on July 1 in Copenhagen.
Although rivals in Slovenia will not be the same as those on the Tour, Pogacar has shown a superlative, ambitious and determined level of how and when he wants, such as training for the exam that awaits him from July 1st.
The final stage did not show any shock to the order established by the UAE, and in particular neither Pogacar. The 8-man breakaway tried to advance the surprise start, along with Unai Iríbar from Gipuzkoa.
The peloton wants a sprint, along with teams and riders with unfinished business. The adventure gave up on the last circuit, 11 km from the last line, but they resisted the start of Trska Gora, an aggressive wall at 10 per cent with 20 ramps.
Pogacar appeared there to destroy the main group, His beginning was fought only by Majka and Mohoric, who left to face the last km. Pogacar jumped the wall, and went down accompanied by Majka, who was caught a few yards away.
The UAE has a majority. Two against one. The second attack weakens Mohoric a bit, and then Majka takes it upon herself to prepare the way. The second Slovenian talked to Pogacar, probably talking on stage, but there was no agreement. In the sprint Mohoric started, the champion answers and the debate is closed. He took glory in Novo Mesto. And the Slovenia Tour. There are already ten wins for him this year.
