Tadej Pogacar Overcomes Dramatic Crash to Win Strade Bianche

The world champion recovered from a heavy fall in Tuscany to claim his third victory in the prestigious race.

Tadej Pogacar crashed at 50 kilometers from the finish after misjudging a descent, landing in a ravine.
Despite injuries to his shoulder, elbow, and knee, Pogacar quickly resumed the race with a new bike.
He caught up with British rival Tom Pidcock and launched a decisive attack 18.5 kilometers from the finish in Siena.
This marks Pogacar's third Strade Bianche victory and the first-ever win by a reigning world champion in the event.
A medical evaluation is planned to assess his injuries ahead of upcoming races, including Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix.
