Tadej Pogačar, fresh off his victory at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, is preparing for his debut at the Giro d’Italia with high hopes of claiming the coveted maglia rosa. The Slovenian phenom believes he has put in the necessary training and reconnaissance to succeed in May’s three-week race. Pogačar’s first Grand Tour outing this season has seen him win seven times, including Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
