Tadej Pogacar from a scream on the Strade Bianche

The victory of Tadej Pogacar

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) won the 18th edition of the 215-kilometer Strade Bianche Crédit Agricole, from Siena to Siena (Piazza del Campo), after an 81-kilometer-long solo action. On the final finish line in the historic square he preceded Toms Skujins (Lidl – Trek) and Maxim Van Gils (Lotto Dstny).

A few seconds after crossing the finish line, the winner Tadej Pogacar said: "The race è has been fast and selective from the start and I don’t think anyone expected it. On Mount Sante Marie, I decided to go. I knew it would be a long action, but I was always informed about the gap. The first race of the season è always tough mentally. I prepared very well during the winter. The Strade Bianche great charm. È one of the most popular and beautiful races in the world".
