Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is already a huge figure in contemporary cycling, but today he out did even himself. Two years ago he won Strade Bianche with a fifty kilometer solo break away. At this point he has just over two minutes on the field with another 68 kilometers to race. With every pedal stroke he was gaining on the disorganized “chase” behind, so it was unlikely that he would be caught. Should this attempt hold, it will be the longest successful break in the race’s somewhat short history.
