Tadej Pogacar added yet another victory to his stunning season by winning the Tre Valli Varesine cycling race on Oct 7 as he prepares for the final Monument of the season.

Having recently added the European title to his world crown, Pogacar also prevailed in northern Italy, thanks to a trademark attack more than 20 kilometres from the end of a tough 200.3km course.

Pogacar has won 19 times this season and is red-hot favourite to make it 20 on Oct 11, when he will bid to become the first man to win the Giro di Lombardia five years in a row.

The 27-year-old is aiming to join Italian great Fausto Coppi on five wins at the “Race of the Falling Leaves”, which in 2025 runs from Como to Bergamo.

He is also hoping to match a feat ever achieved only by Belgian superstar Eddy Merckx by winning three of the five Monuments in the same season.
