THE FIRST MAJOR BIOGRAPHY OF THE MODERN ERA'S GREATEST CYCLIST AND 2026 TOUR DE FRANCE CHAMPION, WRITTEN BY A WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST.
Tadej Pogacar is not like any other professional cyclist. The Slovenian is a sporting phenomenon. He won almost everything there is to win in bike racing, has done so with breathtaking audacity and style - and all by the age of 26.
This comprehensive biography follows his meteoric rise to the top and reveals the character, motivation and skills that have led to his domination of elite cycling.
Andy McGrath documents the superstar's development from his victory in the Tour de l'Avenir in 2018 to his Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Il Lombardia and Tour of Flanders successes. He also delves into his historic 2024 season, when he won cycling's prestigious triple crown: Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and the World Championship road race.
McGrath explores how 'Pogi' first took up the sport, his emerging talent as a teenager and the role played by his UAE Team Emirates-XRG coaches and management. He also gets the inside story from those close to him, trusted teammates and fierce adversaries.
It is not only what Pogacar has won, but the manner in which he wins that also makes him so unique and popular. This book gets to the very heart of the fascinating young man behind the runaway success story.
