What makes a cyclist truly great? Is it the number of victories, the biggest races won, or the ability to produce moments that fans remember for generations?

In this episode, we explore the remarkable rise of Tadej Pogačar, the Slovenian phenomenon who has transformed from a promising young rider into one of the defining figures of modern cycling. From teenage prodigy to multiple Grand Tour and world champion, Pogačar has built great rivalries, come back from second-place finishes to dominate and become one of a kind in the sporting world. Mark and Marcus speak to journalist and author Chris Sidwells to truly understand what makes the champion tick.
