Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar have been showing the cycling world they are two of the best riders ever for quite some time now and at the postponed Tokyo Olympics they have written history with winning the first Slovenian cycling Olympic medals.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) turned the frustration of missing La Flèche Wallonne into success at Liège-Bastogne-Liège by edging out world champion Julian Alaphilippe and made history again with his first Monument triumph on the roads of Liège-Bastogne-Liège at 22 years old.
Itzulia Basque Country Tour 2021 marked the return of duel between Slovenian champions Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic. Roglic won the Itzulia Basque Country Tour and finished 52 seconds ahead of his Jumbo Visma teammate Jonas Vingegaard and Pogacar finished third overall at 1:07 behind Roglic.
