Tadej Pogačar is on top of the world again! The Slovenian secured a second successive rainbow jersey after an astonishing finish at the 2025 Road World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda. The four-time Tour de France winner broke away with Mexican Isaac del Toro and Spain’s Juan Ayuso, who were both on the books of Team UAE this season, but Ayuso soon cracked and Del Toro ran out of steam. Pogačar was a man transformed just a week after humiliation in the time-trial where he was overtaken by Remco Evenepoel, who started 2:30 after him. With the win, Pogačar becomes the third rider in the last two decades to successfully defend the rainbow jersey, after Peter Sagan from 2015-17 and Julian Alaphilippe, who won in 2020 and 2021. Best of the rest? Evenepoel finished second, 1:28 off the pace after suffering mechanical problems, and Irish rider Ben Healy took third place, another 0:48 back. It was Ireland’s first podium finish in the event since 1989. #cycling #pogačar (📸 Fabrice Coffrin...
