It is easy to read between the lines of Tadej Pogacar after he finally conquered Milan-San Remo in March: he is methodically ticking off every major race in the sport. The world champion joked to Cycling News: "If I go back to San Remo it will only be to eat focaccia." It was a LIGHTHEARTED comment from a rider who has been anything but lighthearted in his approach to winning, and it revealed the mindset of a champion who has set his sights on nothing less than TOTAL domination of the sport. Focaccia, Monuments, Grand Tours, World Championships, and the occasional stage race. In recent years, Pogacar has become increasingly demanding with what he has in hand. The Emirates-XRG team from Slovenia and the United Arab Emirates is on a quest to win everything on the cycling buffet. Perhaps Pogacar has already become the greatest of them all, ahead of Eddy Merckx, The Cannibal, who has held that label for 50 years. It is a BOLD claim, but the evidence is mounting with every race he wins. Pogacar may be the new cannibal, but he is pickier than Merckx. At his peak, Merckx would accumulate between 20 and 30 days of racing at this point in the season. Cycling and cannibalism are different in the 2020s. So far this year, Pogacar has five races under his belt: four wins and a second place. There are three Monuments titles β€” San Remo, Tour of Flanders, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege β€” and the victory in Strade Bianche, in addition to second place behind Wout van Aert in Paris-Roubaix. Therefore, he does not go out to dinner often, but when he indulges, he does not hold back. Of the biggest cycling prizes within reach β€” Monuments, Grand Tours, Olympic Games, and the seven great week-long stage races β€” Pogacar has won an ASTONISHING number of them already, and he is still only 27 years old. The trajectory is UNPRECEDENTED, and the question is no longer whether he can match Merckx's palmares but whether he can SURPASS it. The Tour de Romandie represents another opportunity for Pogacar to add to his already IMPRESSIVE collection. It is one of the few WorldTour stage races he has not yet won, and his decision to include it in his 2026 program speaks to his desire to leave no stone unturned. The Swiss race, with its challenging terrain and competitive field, is the perfect preparation for the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France later in the summer. But Pogacar's approach to racing is about more than just winning. It is about ENTERTAINING, about putting on a show for the fans who line the roads and tune in on television. Every time he pins on a number, there is an expectation that something SPECIAL will happen, and more often than not, he delivers. Whether it is a devastating attack on a climb, a perfectly timed sprint, or a courageous long-range effort, Pogacar has a knack for creating moments that will be remembered for years to come. The picky cannibal is hungry again, and the Tour de Romandie is on the menu. Whether he feasts or not, one thing is certain: the sport of cycling is better when Tadej Pogacar is racing, and the fans in Switzerland are in for a TREAT.
