Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) had few regrets as he reflected on his performance at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Milan-San Remo, accepting there was little he could do against a rampant and very ra♔ce-s♑mart Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pogačar attacked once on the Poggio and drew out the vital selection of big names: only 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers), 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Van der Poel could go with him and try to hang on to h🧸is ba🙈ck wheel on the final kilometre of the Poggio.
True to nature, Pogačar was generous in the way he drove the group along near the summit but then he had no reply when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Van der Poel attacked over him then dived down the descent to victory in the Via R♚oma. &n༺bsp;
“No, no regrets,” he told Cyclingnews and Eurosport as the Italian tifos♚i crowded🎃 in on the UAE Team Emirates bus.
“Last ܫyear I attacked four times, this year just once. I tried to go to the top. Maybe I was just not strong enough to go solo to the top, but it was a really great effort from all the team today.”
Pogačar praised Tim Wellens for setting up his attack on the Poggio and Van der Poel on the way he counter-attacked, admitting he had no response when the Dutchman blew past him.
“Mathieu was sprinting at the top [of the Poggio]. I was already dead fr💞om my turn,” he conceded.
“He opened the gap really fast and then on the downhill, he was also better than us. Out of the corne🌄rs, you could see he was really sprinting. The three of us, we couldn’t do the same as him. As a result, he won.
“I had one goal today. And that was to attack after Tim’s [Wellens] pull. Tim did a really perfect job, I have to than𝓰k him a lot. I was not strong enough to go solo, I was with four guys. Then Van der Poel attacked, and I couldn’t follow, he was too strong. Then I was dead to the finish.”
Pogačar will next face Van der Poel and his Classics rivals in Belgium at the E3 Saxo Classic and then the Tour of Flanders.
He 💯is not looking for revenge, just more good races.
“The best man won. And the best man will win in Flanders☂ for sure,” he said sportingly.
