Tadej Pogačar eases to Romandie win for 1st stage-race title after stellar run in one-day classics

Cycling superstar Tadej Pogačar showed Sunday he will be just as hard to beat in stage races as one-day classics this season. Pogačar rode to overall victory in the six-day Tour de Romandie with his fourth stage win of the race, proving too strong for potential Tour de France rival Florian Lipowitz on the rising roads into ski station Leysin. The Slovenian star had come to Switzerland this week after winning Liège–Bastogne–Liège last Sunday, which was his third title in four coveted one-day classics in the European spring known as the Monuments.

Tadej Pogačar is unstoppable—and he proved it again this weekend. The Slovenian cycling sensation cruised to overall victory at the Tour de Romandie, securing his first stage-race title of the season with an emphatic fourth stage win. On the final day, he powered past potential Tour de France rival Florian Lipowitz on the steep, winding roads leading up to the ski station in Leysin, Switzerland.

This win comes just one week after Pogačar added Liège–Bastogne–Liège to his growing list of triumphs—his third Monument classic victory this spring. After dominating the one-day classics, many wondered if he could carry that form into longer stage races. Sunday's performance answered that question in style.

Over the six-day race, Pogačar showed incredible consistency and strength, claiming four stage wins and the overall yellow jersey. His ability to attack on climbs and hold his own in time trials makes him a formidable threat for the Tour de France later this summer.

For cycling fans, this is a season to remember. Pogačar is proving he's not just a one-day specialist or a Grand Tour contender—he's a complete champion who can win anywhere, anytime. Whether you're cheering from the roadside or gearing up for your own rides, moments like these remind us why we love this sport.
