Tadej PogaÄar expressed regret over his early attack in the Amstel Gold Race, believing he was 'too enthusiastic.' After breaking away with Julian Alaphilippe, PogaÄar found himself alone 42km from the finish. Although he initially appeared poised for victory, fatigue from his previous racing led him to be caught by Remco Evenepoel and race-winner Mattias Skjelmose. Ultimately, PogaÄar finished second in a closely contested sprint, acknowledging his mistake and the impact of a strong headwind on his race strategy.
It was a really nice race, a good race from us, but in the end, the line was five metres too long and yeah, second place.
When me and Alaphilippe went, I was hoping that he would stay longer with me together and that we could go long, but maybe we were too enthusiastic with the first attack.
