Tadej Pogacar's 81km solo attack at the Strade Bianche elevated the race to Monument status, adding prestige to his own palmares and that of the Italian race. Pogacar, who won with no one in sight for more than two minutes, described the experience as one of his best, emphasizing the incredible atmosphere and support.
