Tadej Pogačar is expected to continue his dominance of the 2024 season at Il Lombardia on Saturday and could win a fourth consecutive edition of the Italian monument and his 25th victory of the season.

His dominance of the World Championships and his 100km attack again sparked comparisons with Eddy Merckx. Yet the Slovenian’s dominance has also sparked unfounded suspicion and questions, just as in the past with other riders in the darkest era of the sport.
