Only other rider to win LBL, Il Lom and Le Tour?Getting back to Pogi he's class isn't he ! Looks like he has fun on a bike and that win was never really in doubt.Barely gets out the saddle when Masanda attacked him.
Coppi didn't do it. Coppi's TdF wins were in 1949 and 1952. He didn't win Liege at all in his career. Merckx is the only rider to achieve this feat before Pogacar, doing the triple in 1972 - along with Milan-San Remo, Fleche Wallonne, Girod'Italia (inc. 4 stage wins), Brabantse Pijl, Giro del Emilia,GP d'Escaut, A Travers Lausanne...and in the middle of the season went to Mexico and set a new Hour Record.Pogačar - what a rider!
Not only has he won L-B-L, the TdeF and the Giro di Lombardia this year, he’s in great company with Coppi and Merckyx as the only other two riders to achieve this feat.
Chapeau indeed - and he’s only 23.
Coppi didn't do it. Etc. etc.
Fausto Coppi is the only other rider to have won the Tour and at least two monuments in a single year, which I imagine is what the commentator meant. If you make it a grand tour plus two monuments, you still don't find anyone else.Well, that’s put me in my place!
I blame the commentator on Norwegian Eurosport for spreading fake news.
