Pogacar reaches the level of Merckx and Roche by achieving the triple crown in Zurich

The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar has done it again and this Sunday he has been proclaimed world cycling champion with an amazing exhibition. At just 26 years old, he won solo thanks to an offensive that began 100 kilometers from the finish line, in the race held in Zurich.

Thus, the cyclist achieves a historic milestone, the Cycling Triple Crown, which has several definitions, but the most widespread is the one that refers to the cyclist who is capable of winning the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France, and the World Championship in the same season. A triplet that only two cyclists have been able to achieve throughout history, which already indicates the difficulty of the feat: the Belgian Eddy Merckx and the Irishman Stephen Roche.
