I don't know if the goal was to escape the leaders or just to make the race hard on a steep gravel section but Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) rode off the front of the peloton with 49 kilometers to go. As he looked back with 47 kilometers left to race all he go see was one of the commissare's motorcycles. That is the last he ever saw of any two wheeled vehicles for the day. Well, actually this moto has three wheels. It has been a long time since I have seen a successful 49 kilometer solo break, but then there aren't many like Pogacar. And he became the first former Tour de France winner (two times) to ever win Strade Bianche. Chapeau!
