Tadej Pogacar Clinches Fourth Stage at Strade Bianche
UAE Team Emirates Cyclist Continues Impressive Season
Soler Paced Pogacar, Majka Supported Yates
Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates has claimed his fourth victory of the season by winning the 18th edition of the Strade Bianche cycling race. The Slovenian rider crossed the finish line in Siena, Italy, ahead of Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe).
Pogacar's victory comes on the back of a strong performance at the recent Tour de France, where he finished second overall. The 23-year-old has now won two of the three major one-day classics this season, having previously triumphed at the Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico.
Speaking after the race, Pogacar said: "I think I can still be a little better but not a lot. I'm happy with my performance today. The team did a great job, and I'm very proud of them." Rafal Majka of UAE Team Emirates supported teammate Adam Yates, while Marc Soler paced Pogacar.
Pogacar's victory is a major boost for UAE Team Emirates, who have had a strong start to the season. The team will now turn their attention to the upcoming cobbled classics, where Pogacar will be one of the favorites for victory.
