Pogacar survives crash in Siena win

FLORENCE -

The Team UAE rider topped the podium in Siena by 1min 24sec ahead of Briton Tom Pidcock, with Belgium's Tim Wellens a further 48sec adrift.

After victory in the Tuscan one-day race in 2022 and 2024, 26-year-old Pogacar now equals Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara's record of three victories in the Strade Bianche.

"Pretty good race today. The race was super fast. It was a really strong breakaway and our guys did super amazing work in the front," said Pogacar, who completed the 213km race in 5hr 13min and 58sec.

After falling off his bike at a corner on a descent, Pogacar displayed several cuts to his body, with blood notably visible on his left shoulder.
