🎥 Pogi does a Del Grosso: world champion bored after tough spring and pulls off long wheelies in training ride

Pogacar's victory streak knew almost no limits this spring. First in the Strade Bianche, first in the Tour of Flanders, first in the Flèche Wallonne, and first in Liège-Bastogne-Liège: outstanding performances by the world champion. Add second place in the Amstel Gold Race, Paris-Roubaix, and third place in Milan-Sanremo, and you have a list of results we will probably never see again. After such performances, the Slovenian superstar deserves a quiet period.

He is taking advantage of it with both hands. Pogacar is sticking to a quiet week of training in his home region of Nice, where he occasionally goes for a ride. With masseur Ziga Jerman and press officer Luke Maguire, Saturday was no exception. His company shows that it's not about making kilometers: it's a good way to keep the muscles flexible. And then Pogacar will soon get bored, and out come the antics.

In a video on Instagram, he shows off his amazing wheelie skills. The world champion conjures up enormous distances, sometimes with just one hand. “Good vibes only,” says Pogacar. It's reminiscent of Tibor del Grosso, who recently cycled the entire Eyserbosweg on one wheel in the touring version of the Amstel Gold Race. Pogacar can't match the young Dutchman's steering skills, but his abilities on the bike are certainly impressive.
