Finished, but in fact never born, the Tour of Italy with the catwalk in Rome gave to Pogacar the one who is from Pogacar. That is, the pink sweaterThe final successand essentially the whole race revealed one his thing well beyond what was credited in the predictions of the day before, in which crumbs of chance remained for a Geraint Thomas who instead was not seen.
The twenty-five year old Slovenian ran alonetransforming everything into a kind of catwalk. Climb, flat, time trial, it’s the strongest everywhere. And how to explain otherwise 2 Tour de France and 6 monument classics. Six stages and 20 days in pink they only partially restore the boundaries of a triumph that is actually borderless.
On the podium I am Dani Martinez, second to sidereal distance of 9’56”:it is the widest gap since Adorni won over Zilioli, 1965, a sporting era ago. Third is the highly anticipated Thomas at 10’24’‘. Fifth was the first Italian, Antonio Tiberi. Applause for him who takes home a well-deserved one White shirt. Applause also for Jonathan Milan wearing the cyclamen of the ranking in points.
This evening the catwalk in Rome to crown a king who took the road mile after mile, reducing the Giro to a mere personal matter. A ride of health, waiting for the next Giro. Equally beautiful, perhaps with a few more opponents.
