Tadej Pogacar is the man of the moment in world cycling, newly crowned winner for the fourth time in the tour of France. The Slovenian has prepared the World Championships next week with a number of races in North America.
On Sunday, Tadej had escaped with “empty road” towards Victoria on the Montreal circuit. In the last km no more forced, waiting for the teammate Brandon McLTY. The two whispered on the road to Finiș. No one threatened their positions.

Leave it on Brandon McLnty to pass first. He asked fans to applaud the American. A moment that will take the summary of the end of the year.

“I was a little afraid to come to Canada, I didn't know if I was in the best form. I felt bad in the pre-week week. But at Montreal everything went well. We escaped together, I went with him the last tour. It was even more beautiful than last year. Then I had a triumph on my own,” explained Pogacar.
It was an extremely special day. Not only did I win with a colleague, but it was really tade. Wonderful to pass with the rainbow shirt, the world champion. I am grateful to him, he was so kind that I let me win. It's my first victory in a stage at the WorldTour level
