BRUSSELS- Tadej Pogačar claimed a dominant victory at the Tour of Flanders, securing his fourth consecutive Monument win and a record-equalling third title in the race. The world champion gradually increased the pace during the demanding 278km course, known for its steep cobbled climbs, proving once again why he is one of the sport’s top riders.

Pogačar broke away from his main rivals, including Mathieu van der Poel and Remco Evenepoel, on the decisive climbs. Evenepoel dropped off first, while Van der Poel held on longer but eventually could not match Pogačar’s strength, as the Slovenian surged ahead on the final ascent to seal an impressive solo victory.
