This week I break down Pogačar's dominant win at Il Lombardia (01:20), how his long-range attack capitalized on a tactical shift in modern racing (24:30), why he isn't taken more seriously as a one-day contender by the media and other riders (29:20), and then measuring how Pogačar stacks up against the all-time great Eddy Merckx after three full professional seasons (43:07).
