Pogačar's cycling dominance continues with Liège–Bastogne–Liège victory
Four-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar continues his dominance after becoming the first rider this century to earn three straight victories at the Liège–Bastogne–Liège classic cycling race.
The triumph on Sunday capped an outstanding run in which Pogačar also won two other “monuments” of one-day cycling at Milan-San Remo and Tour of Flanders.
The Slovenian lost to Wout van Aert at Paris-Roubaix earlier this month.
The fifth and final Monument race will be the Tour of Lombardy in October.
Paul Seixas, the 19-year-old French rider, was second to Pogačar on Sunday.
Remco Evenepoel finished third.
