Hailed as one of the most versatile riders of modern cycling, Tadej Pogačar has won almost all of the most prestigious races in the discipline - except one: the elite men's road race at the World Championships.

Having recently dipped his toe into the cobbled and Ardennes Spring Classics with astonishing success - winning the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race and La Flèche Wallonne, Pogačar is a favourite for the rainbow jersey in Sunday's elite men's road race in Glasgow.
