What to expect
'Covers Pogi’s meteoric rise, his victories and rivalries, while revealing more about the character behind the sporting domination' CYCLIST
'Excellent' DAVID WALSH, TWO-TIME WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER
'Fascinating... draws on multiple sources to explain how the Slovenian became the best cyclist of his generation' THE TIMES
THE FIRST MAJOR BIOGRAPHY OF THE MODERN ERA’S GREATEST CYCLIST AND 2026 TOUR DE FRANCE CHAMPION, WRITTEN BY WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST.
Tadej Pogacar is not like any other professional cyclist. The Slovenian is a sporting phenomenon. He won almost everything there is to win in bike racing, has done so with breathtaking audacity and style – and all by the age of 26.
This comprehensive biography follows his meteoric rise to the top, recounts his greatest race wins and rivalries, and reveals the character, motivation and skills that have led to his domination of elite cycling.
Experienced cycling journalist Andy McGrath has documented the versatile superstar’s development from his victory in the Tour de l’Avenir in 2018 to his Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Il Lombardia and Tour of Flanders successes and his historic 2024 season, when he won cycling’s prestigious triple crown of the Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France and the World Championship road race. His victories include five Tours de France (2020, 2021, 2024, 2025 and 2026).
McGrath explores how this diminutive child from a small, mountainous nation of Slovenia first took up the sport, his emerging talent as a teenager and the role played by his UAE Team Emirates-XRG coaches and management. He also gets the inside story from those close to him, trusted teammates and fierce adversaries.
It is not only what Pogacar has won, but the manner in which he wins that also makes him so unique and popular. McGrath gets to the very heart of the cycling phenomenon that is ‘Pogi’ – and the fascinating young man behind the runaway success story.
