Le tour de France: Pogacar clinches his third overall victory

I mentioned two days ago. He was touching it #614850 . However, until you cross the last finish line, it can not be claimed.
He has completed other 2 incredible stages, winning then and showing who is the strongest this year.
He has won 6 stages, which is also a sign of his stunning performance. However, he is two stages short from the record of Eddy Merckx, when he won Le Tour in 1970 and 1974, winning 8 stages in each of them.
Pogacar has added a third victory in Le Tour. He is still 25 and, if injuries respect him, could increase the victories and even set a new record.
As a curiosity, I predicted his victory in a post published in June #585785 . I think it was a bold one and just a coincidence I was right.

Cavendish was worried about losing his record to him. I remember he told him not to win too much.

Well , he has already won 17 stages with 25 years. Cavendish has retired with 35. It’s going to be interesting in coming years.

Yes, it will depend on the stages though. Hes not so great at sprint stages, right?

True, though he will have plenty of opportunities at stages where the road goes up.

I dont know if he will keep doing the tour every year though. I know he wants to do other races.

We aren’t inside his head. Having said that he may change the races from one year to other but seems weird to skip the French route.

He's a monster. Such a complete rider. You gotta love his attacking style too. I read he was pushing nearly 7w/kg for nearly 40min up one of those mountain stages. If he can keep that up he'll win a few more TdF yet
