Tadej Pogacar Wins World Championship, Secures Historic Triple Crown

The Slovenian cyclist's audacious 100km solo attack in Zurich cements his place among the sport's legends.

Tadej Pogacar becomes the first male cyclist since 1987 to achieve the Triple Crown, winning the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and World Championship in the same year.
Pogacar's victory came after a remarkable solo breakaway from 100 kilometers out, finishing 34 seconds ahead of Australia's Ben O'Connor.
The 26-year-old Slovenian's aggressive strategy left top competitors like Remco Evenepoel and Mathieu van der Poel unable to catch up.
This season, Pogacar also claimed victories in prestigious races like Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Strade Bianche, totaling 23 wins.
Eddy Merckx, a cycling legend and previous Triple Crown winner, acknowledged Pogacar's superiority and unprecedented achievements.
