Pogacar is now resting after a tough season in which he broke all the records. A year in which he was the rival to beat, in which he achieved 25 wins and in which he won all but two of the races he entered. Successes he also signed after carrying out several far-reaching solo attacks that became one of his calling cards, feared by his rivals.
But with the desire to improve, be better and continue making history in cycling, the Slovenian cyclist has three races marked in red on his roadmap where he has not been able to leave his signature.
These three races are the Milan-San Remo, Paris-Roubaix and La Vuelta. The ‘Classicissima’ He has competed here four times, getting results ranging from less to more, until finishing 3rd this year after Michael Matthews and Jaspen Philipsensecond and first respectively. A classic that does not quite fit its characteristics, but where it is on the verge of success.
The less it fits, a priori, the Paris-Roubaix, whose qualifier ‘The Hell of the North’ it has been determined. He has never competed here and it has always been said that in this monumental classic he has more to lose than to gain, due to the extreme hardness that rules it in the presence of cobblestones.
The case is different The Return, where he debuted in a big way and where it can be said that he presented himself to society. It was in 2019, the year in which he finished 3rd overall and in which he won three stages of the gentleman: the finish in Cortals d’Encamp, the Machucos and the Gredos Platform. The following year he ventured to Tour de Francewhich has competed in five consecutive years, with three wins and two second places, and in 2024 it has chosen the double Giro-Tour, which no one has achieved since Marco Pantani in 1998.
We shall see, then, what is Pogacar race calendar in 2025 and which of these is included in the three aforementioned races.
