100 victories and counting: Pogacar’s staggering milestone
Tadej Pogačar in the seventh year of his professional cycling career, he has now hit 100 professional victories and he is still only 26 years old. Just let that sink in. From his first ever professional victory in the 2019 Volta ao Algarve, to his present-day domination, Pogačar is on the verge of completing cycling. Domestique looks at some of Pogačar’s most emblematic victories from general classifications to monument masterpieces.

2024 UCI road world championships – A first rainbow jersey
This might well go down as Pogačar's most astonishing victory. Coming into the Zurich Worlds, Pogačar was by far the clear big favourite for the race with the punchy nature of the parcours suiting him to an absolute perfection. Expectations were rampant as ever for Pogačar, but he still found a way do exceed them. An audacious attack with 100 kilometres to go had many questioning what an earth he was doing. But obviously, it worked, somehow. The pure power and strength needed to produce the effort, along with the mental courage to persevere with the long-range attack, especially as Pogačar began to faulter in the final third, is something incomprehensible. The video game-esque victory is something that will be talked about for generations to come.
2024 Tour de France – A third yellow jersey
A masterpiece, it has to be said. Pogačar won the yellow jersey by 6:17 over his nearest rival, Jonas Vingegaard. In the process of his Tour de France domination, Pogačar picked up six stage victories in 2024 while dropping thermonuclear performances on climbs such as Plateau de Beille and Pla d'Adet. Pogačar bounced back from his heavy defeats at the 2022 and 2023 Tours to beat Vingegaard. But he went further: Pogačar's dominance was such that it left riders and teams questioning how do they could ever knock him off his stride again, because it looked like he would stay atop the cycling hierarchy for many years to come.
2023 Tour of Flanders - Redemption
Sticking with the theme of Pogačar’s first ever victories, his first ever Tour of Flanders victory. What particularly was most impressive about this is Pogačar’s mental resilience and ability to bounce back from tough moments. The tough moment in question was in the 2022 Tour of Flanders, where Pogačar was impeded in his effort to the line, leading to him finishing 4th, outside of a podium position. He was a man on a mission from then on in the 2023 edition, triumphing in a brutal but brilliant battle with Mathieu van der Poel. Only Van der Poel came within a minute of Pogačar on this day, finishing 16 seconds behind Pogačar. This 2023 Tour of Flanders was only the prelude for the battles to come between the pair.
2024 Giro d’Italia – Domination
Pogačar won the 2024 edition of the Giro by just shy of ten minutes, 9:56 to be precise. It was another show of complete and utter domination, as Pogačar was a cut above the rest. For many of the stages, it was almost as if he was out on a Sunday zone 2 ride with his friends, he made it look effortless. The Monte Grappa stage of that Giro has got to be the pick of the 21 stages as Pogačar absolutely blitzed up both ascents of the mythical Grappa. However, it also must be said that Pogačar’s stage 15 performance at altitude, to take the stage victory ahead of Nairo Quintana who was so far out of the equation ahead, only to be cruelly reeled in by the roaring Pogačar in the final kilometres.
2024 Strade Bianche – The 81km solo
Stunning is the word to describe this victory of Pogačar. To go solo from 81 kilometres out on the twisty and treacherous Tuscan white roads is something quite extraordinary, especially when he had already gone from distance to win there in 2022. He mentioned in his pre-race interview that he would attack on the Monte Sante Marie climb and he certainly did. He launched like a rocket and that rocket kept on burning to launch himself to victory.
