April 29, 2025
Following his victory at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Pogačar has now secured a total of nine Monument wins, surpassing his rival Mathieu van der Poel, who has eight.
This impressive tally of nine Monuments places Pogačar third in the historical rankings, trailing only cycling legends Eddy Merckx and Roger De Vlaeminck.
Tadej Pogačar's remarkable performance in the 2025 cycling season has been celebrated by L'Équipe, which described it as 'An Absolute Monarchy - one of the Greatest Classics Campaigns in History.'
Such achievements position Pogačar among cycling legends, equating him with icons like Fausto Coppi and Sean Kelly.
Despite this success, Pogačar has downplayed expectations for future Classics seasons, indicating a humble outlook after his remarkable campaign.
