Volta a Catalunya leader Tadej Pogačar confirmed on Friday that winning all seven of cycling’s top week-long stage races is a career goal, but one that—if possible—will take a long time to complete.

Of the seven most historically prestigious week-long races, Pogačar has already won Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico. He is currently holding a commanding lead in a third, the Volta a Catalunya, albeit with a very tough two stages left to race.
