Tadej Pogacar is a phenomenon. The Slovenian has won the past two editions of the Tour de France and he is also doing very well in terms of one-day races. He won the Tour of Lombardy last weekend.
Eddy Merckx is also impressed by Tadej Pogacar. Merckx gave more information about the Slovenian at a DMT sponsor event. “I have often heard that a rider can be ‘the new Merckx’, but I think that we have really found him with Pogacar,” it reads in The last news.
“Pogacar is a great champion that we can enjoy for a very long time. He has already won two editions of the Tour de France, while he is only 23 years old. I had not won a Tour when I was 24 years old. He will be able to do better than me in some matches,” said Merckx.
