Tadej Pogačar often finds himself outnumbered in races but the Slovenian loves a fight and likes nothing more than to overturn the odds. It's no surprise he has made the UCI Road World Championships in Australia his major goal for the final part of the 2022 season.

Pogačar lost out to the combined strength of Jumbo-Visma at the Tour de France in July but shrugged off that defeat, promised to bounce back in 2023, rested up and returned to training to prepare for the World Championships.
