Pogcar is bidding to become the first man to win the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France double since Marco Pantani in 1998.
TADEJ POGACAR WON his first ever stage of the Giro d’Italia and took the overall leader’s pink jersey in Sunday’s summit finish at the Sanctuary of Oropa on stage two.
The UAE rider bounced back from a crash just as the peloton approached the climb towards Oropa and turned on the afterburners with four kilometres remaining of the 161km stage. He finished 27 seconds ahead of Daniel Martinez and another of his key rivals Geraint Thomas, stripping the pink jersey for the lead in the general classification from Saturday’s winner Jhonatan Narvaez.
— Giro d'Italia May 5, 2024 Cork’s Eddie Dunbar recovered to cross the line in 51st place, nearly six minutes behind Pogacar, after he was involved in a crash with just over 60 kilometres to race.
