Tadej Pogačar, dressed in his rainbow jersey, completed a 130-kilometer pre-race reconnaissance for Il Lombardia, aiming to secure a fourth consecutive victory.
Regardless of Saturday's outcome, Pogačar has achieved the Triple Crown, making his 2024 season potentially the greatest for any male rider in the 21st century.
A win on Saturday could tie Pogačar's victory total with Alessandro Petacchi’s 25 wins, signaling a historic shift in cycling's competitive dynamics.
Comparisons to Eddy Merckx are growing, with Merckx himself acknowledging Pogačar's performance as superior to his own during their era of competition.
