In Rome an amazing edition of the Corsa Rosa for the Slovenian.
The first success in the Italian race for a rider with UAE Team Emirates jersey came at the end of the final stage (Rome-Rome, 125 km) which was won at the sprint by Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quickstep): Pogačar conquered the general classification with 9’56” on Daniel Martinez (Bora-hansgrohe) and 10’24” on Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers).
Pogačar also took the blue jersey of the best climber and 6 stage victories, for a total sum of 77 victories in his career. It makes 38 victories in 2024 for UAE Team Emirates.
Pogačar: “This is even better than real thing, you never know how it feels until you try and I can say this is a dream come true.
This was the main target of the first part of the season, now I will have a little rest and then I will start to prepare the second part and another big goal: I can’t wait for it.
Winning a race is something great, but winning the Giro in this way it’s something special, it’s unbelievable, with such a lot of good memories I shared with my team mates and the rest of the team members that we could write a book about them”.
