The Slovenian was unrelenting in his solo rampage, only slowing to cruise across the line 31sec ahead of Remco Evenepoel, who attempted to push him all the way, while French teenager Paul Seixas was given a rousing welcome for bronze after finishing 3min 41sec adrift of Pogacar.
"Every year I want to be a better version of myself. Try to gain more experience, try different races and I am lucky enough to be in these kinds of races. I need to enjoy it for as long as I can," Pogacar told reporters in Guilherand-Granges.
"Remco was really good and always chasing me and I could not give up until the finish line. I had to push really, really hard and I'm happy it's over and another title."
