Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar – ‘I’m always interested in statistics and records, just not mine
Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar has once again captivated the cycling world, not only with his extraordinary performance but also with his humble attitude towards his achievements. After securing his third Tour de France victory, Pogačar revealed a surprising perspective: while he is fascinated by statistics and records, he prefers to focus on those set by other cyclists, rather than his own.
Throughout the grueling three-week race, Pogačar demonstrated unparalleled consistency and strength, especially in the mountainous stages where his climbing prowess shone. His audacious attack in the penultimate stage, which secured him a decisive solo victory, was a testament to his fearless racing style and tactical intelligence.
Yet, Pogačar remains remarkably humble about his accomplishments. Instead of dwelling on his own records, he finds inspiration in the achievements of other cyclists, past and present. This outlook not only endears him to fans but also keeps him motivated to continue improving and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in cycling.
Pogačar’s victory is a result of not only his individual brilliance but also the unwavering support of his UAE Team Emirates squad. Together, they executed a flawless strategy, protecting their leader and positioning him perfectly for his stage wins.
As Pogačar celebrated his third Tour de France title on the Champs-Élysées, his thoughts were already on the future, driven by his passion for the sport and his curiosity about the records yet to be set. His approach exemplifies a true champion, one who remains dedicated to the love of cycling and the pursuit of excellence.
