Pogacar has repeatedly said that setting absolute records in the sport is not his prime motivation. He has suggested in the past that winning more editions of the Tour de France than anyone else is not a major goal for him.
Instead he has suggested that pushing himself in new directions and answering different challenges is what really drives him onwards.
He returned to that theme on Sunday.
“I don’t have Itzulia, I don’t have a lot of races, actually,” he said when asked by CyclingProNet if he wants to win all the historic stage races.
“The Tour Down Under, the Tour of Poland, the Eneco Tour, how do you call it… the Tim Wellens race,” he said, smiling, speaking about the event won four times by Wellens and now known as the Renewi Tour.
“And then one day races also. There are still a lot of big races left.
“Let’s go one by one and see how far we can come.”
