Tom Pidcock‘s coach Kurt Bogaerts has said that the presence of Tadej Pogačar is something to be accepted and relished as a challenge, rather than something to complain about.
The Pinarello–Q36.5 head of performance was speaking to Dutch outlet Wielerflits about the Briton’s approach to this weekend’s Strade Bianche – a race that he won back in 2023 but which UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider Pogačar has made his own for the past two seasons.
“But he still managed to get back to the front from behind the last group. I don’t really understand how he managed that… You can’t do that if you’re not in top form, I think,” he said.
Strade Bianche takes place this Saturday 7 March – if you want to follow the action, check out our streaming guide here.
