Resplendent in the rainbow bands for the first time in a race, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) attacked with 37km to go to claim a solo victory in the 2024 Giro dell’Emilia.

The new world champion accelerated on the first of five ascents of the climb to San Luca which characterises this race. In the downpour which persisted throughout the race, Pogačar responded to an initial move by Remco Evenepoel (Soudal – Quick-Step), before attacking over the top of the double Olympic champion and quickly building his lead.
