The legendary Eddy Merckx with his incredible prediction about the Pimp.

Eddy Merckx, legendarni belgijski kolesar, je v pogovoru za italijanski časnik Gazzetta dello sport, kot ga povzema kolesarski portal Domestique, dejal, da bi lahko slovenski kolesar Tadej Pogačar v eni sezoni osvojil vse tri tritedenske preizkušnje – Tour de France, Giro di Italia in Vuelta a España. Merckx je ocenil, da Pogačar, 27-letni kolesar iz Klanca pri Komendi, predstavlja zelo močno tekmočeno, ki je v zadnjem letu zelo dobra, kljub temu pa ni imel prave konkurence na letošnjem Touru. Navedel je, da bi lahko bil med tekmaci tudi Jonas Vingegaard, a je naletel na obilico nesreče. Merckx je tudi opozoril, da je Vingegaard v prvi gorski etapi hitro odpadel in ni mogel slediti ritmu Pogačarja. Nadaljeval je z mislimi, da bi Pogačar lahko v eni sezoni osvojil vse tri tritedenske preizkušnje, če so ustrezni pogoji, in podrobno razvil svoje razmislek o pomernosti ekipe in oblikovanju strategije. Poleg tega je Merckx razgovarjal o prihodnosti mladih kolesarjev kot je Paul Seixas in Remco Evenepoel, ocenjujuci, da Pogačar še vedno predstavlja zelo visoko raven, ki je trenutno skoraj nemogoče doseči.

Jonas Vingegaard is home after successful collarbone surgery

Jonas Vingegaard, a professional cyclist, successfully underwent surgery for a broken collarbone after sustaining the injury during a fall in the 15th stage of this year's Tour de France. The operation took place in Denmark, and according to his team's sports director Marc Reef, the procedure went smoothly and was not among the most complex. However, the timeline for Vingegaard's recovery remains uncertain, and it is unclear when he will return to racing. His participation in the upcoming Vuelta a España, scheduled for August 22, seems unlikely due to the severity of the injury and the demanding competition schedule. Instead, he might focus on the World Championships in Montreal at the end of September and the Giro di Lombardia in October, though his performance in single-day races has historically been less successful compared to multi-stage tours.
