Tadej Pogačar is currently enjoying one of the longest victory processions in modern cycling history as he continues to eat up the road in the Giro d'Italia 2024.

The two-time Tour de France champion has led the way since Stage 2 and boasts a lead of more than seven minutes going into the final five stages. For context, no rider has won the Giro with a margin over two minutes since Alberto Contador in 2015.

By the time the riders reach Rome, they will have risen, fallen and rarely cruised along more than 3,300km of Italian roads in the hunt for glory, but Pogačar has simply dominated the pack.

Daniel Martinez and British star Geraint Thomas are busy duelling for second place, but barring an exceptional, unprecedented collapse, Pogačar will hoist the trophy in Rome this weekend.

Primož Roglič claimed the title in 2023, but the run of reigning champions failing to win consecutive Giro titles in over 30 years has been extended due to Roglič's absence in the 2024 edition.
