Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar retained his Tirreno-Adriatico title when he completed the ultimate stage safely within the bunch to cap a dominant week on Sunday.

The Slovenian seemed to be in a league of his personal as he gained the 2 mountain phases to finish the week-long race one minute 52 seconds forward of final yr’s Tour runner-up Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark.

Spain’s Mikel Landa completed third total, 2:33 off the tempo, after the ultimate stage was gained in a dash by German Phil Bauhaus in San Benedetto del Tronto.

Pogacar, 23, secured his two stage victories by getting away from his rivals with spectacular ease, leaving them with little hope of clinching the general title.

Pogacar, who can be trying to win the Tour for a 3rd consecutive yr in July, had already gained the opposite two occasions he took half on this season – the UAE Tour and the Strade Bianche traditional race.
