Tadej Pogačar world's No.1 rider for 100 weeks
Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar, two-times Tour de France winner, remains No. 1 in the world, topping the UCI men's road cycling world ranking for a continuos 90 weeks and 100 weeks in total.
Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) has recently recovered from a wrist injury he sustained when he fell during the Liege-Bastogne-Liege race.
He announced earlier this month that he will compete at the Tour de France, which he won in 2020 and 2021, but not at the Tour of Slovenia, which starts tomorrow.
