Tadej Pogačar is set to kick off his 2025 Classics campaign at Strade Bianche, embarking on a seven-week period where he might dominate each race he participates in. His targets include iconic events such as Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Flanders, and Paris-Roubaix, alongside the Ardennes Classics. Although his primary goal is a fourth Tour de France victory, Pogačar expresses a passion for the adrenaline rush of one-day Classics, appreciating the unique strategy and intensity they demand compared to stage races.
On that one day, you have to be the strongest, the luckiest, the most inspired, everything has to line up, there are no catch-up sessions. As everything is decided in a single day, the emotion of victory is incomparable.
I prefer the idea of being a Classics rider who wins Grand Tours, even if I started with a victory in the Tour. I love the Classics, they're pure adrenaline, a one-day shock that has nothing to do with suffering spread out over three weeks.
