Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Chapeau to Pog.

Not sure about Triple Crown though - surely that would be all three Grand Tours?

I thought it was a repeat of what Merckx and Roche had done: tour, giro, worlds.

Has anyone ever won all 3 Grand Tours in one year? For a long time the. Yeltsin and Giro overlapped so it wasn’t possible was it?

Just googled it. No-one has won all three in the same calendar year but Merckx, Hinault and Froome have all won all three in sequence so held all three titles at the same time.

I think Pog would have been in with a shout of doing the Vuelta too this year, but I heard him on Watts Occurring saying he pretty much had to give someone else in the team a chance.

It's not really something that anyone would really attempt. Even the Giro/ TDF double done by Pogacar this year was kind of related to being beaten comprehensively at the Tour the previous two years and hedging his bets (and who knows how the Tour would have gone if Vingegaard hadn't had his crash). There's no rumours of Pogacar doing the Giro next year. There were some about Vingegaard (which were dismissed) and it sounds like Evenepoel is definitely doing it.

Was that Pogacar or was that what Thomas thought?
