| 0:00.0 | There's only one way that there might be a possibility. |
| 0:03.7 | And I've always said, you know, Pogacar on top of his form, his strongest, his worst enemy is himself. |
| 0:13.3 | And so I think what they should try to do, especially in monuments, like 250K, is, you know, try to isolate him early, to make him attack early |
| 0:26.1 | and then not race behind and try to keep it together and hope that he will be overconfident |
| 0:34.0 | and runs out of gas. It has happened in the past a few times, but it seems that |
| 0:38.2 | now, especially this year, he has that exercise under control even. You know, he does not run out of |

| 0:56.0 | We are breaking down I-Lombardia, which was won by Tade Pagachar, in his now signature solo style. |

| 1:42.1 | Isaac D'Oro, finished fifth in the chase group. |
| 1:45.5 | But, Johan, I and George, I want to get your guys' take on this win, what this means going forward. |
| 1:50.4 | How does Pagatja keep doing this? |
| 1:51.8 | How are we ever going to stop him or how will anyone ever stop him? |
| 1:55.7 | But first, let's hear from our partners and then I'll get your take on it. |
