Well, certainly at this time uh at this moment anyway and you know, but it should also give you that carrot to keep on pushing, keep working to keep getting better because we’re seeing how quickly things change in this sport and um how you can, you know, find that next level. He’s already talked about what he thinks he needs to do over the winter, which is match those short explosive efforts that Buggacha puts in when he first puts in his attacks. And he’s going to go a new set of coaches. There’ll be some familiar faces. Belgian Cycling Federation members have gone over to to Red Bull. Coaches he’s worked with before are the new ones. And that’s where he’s heading this winter. It’s through the gate, though, and up onto the famous climb. Look at this. It looks glorious. [Applause] And the noise will be deafening for Pugatcha. The last three weeks he’s been alone at the front in that unique atmosphere in Kegali. Last week was full of French fans and here the Italian faithful are ready to see the man achieve something that’s never been done before. win a Monument Classic five consecutive seasons [Applause] and this lot will be conscious of what they’re witnessing. It’s history in the making right here at the J Lombardia. [Applause] 70 years, seven decades since Faster Copy was winning five. Bulga will do that, but he will do it in a style that’s never been done before. All five in a row. And what an image. What an atmosphere. [Applause] It is glorious. [Applause] Not many other sports in the world do you get to be that close to the superstars of the sports when they’re doing their business. And the business is being done yet again. It’s a homecoming parade for the conquering hero. the worst to climb out the way now. Zipping down the hill here and then twisting and turning into the center of Bergamo. It’s Paul’s turn to ride through the crowds. 1 minute 36 behind. A sense of deja vu for him. Chasing Pugacha again alone himself. The best of the rest for the third week running. Oops. And now then this could be a problem. This could be a real issue. Even a pool trying to get beyond that moto. Oh no, no, no. Oh, thank goodness. That will not affect the outcome of first and second. I think we think he’s got enough time for it not to affect the outcome of second and third thankfully as well. It’s quiet this side of town. The rest of the fans will be gathered down near the finish line. And those who are there, well, as is habitual nowadays, the phones will be out, photographs will be taken, moments recorded for posterity. And this, wherever you’re watching, whatever you’re doing is a moment. I know it sounds like it happening on a weekly basis right now with this man, but something truly special is about to happen. A brand new feat in professional cycling as of yet unlocked. And Bulgachad on his way to five in a row. Olympic champion beaten. He himself honoring that blue Sudal Quickstep jersey for the final time before moving on to past new in the winter. [Applause] A look around a look behind. There will be undoubted anger at what happened with a motorbike there, but he’s got enough time to finish off and make sure he finishes second. Yeah, luckily it didn’t sort of have any real sort of, you know, adverse effects on the outcome of the of the bike race. But here we go then into the final kilometer. A beaming smile for Tuga. It’s been three big weekends of racing. Rainbow jersey secured. European title taken for the first time in his career. A brand new race won for him last week in France. This one is going to be taken again. [Applause] Celebration day yet again for Pugacha. Thank you Rafer indeed. Rafael Mah retiring today helped set him up not just for any victory. This one is extra special. Since the 1950s, FTO copy has stood alone on the top step of the Lombardi Hall of Fame. 70 odd years since the era of Grand Chicmore. And the Campion, a modern Campion, becomes the first man to win five in a row. Copy has company and it’s Pogach. a 50th solo win, a 10th monument, and the first ever to five on the bounce. The jury de Lombardia in 2025 just as it has been every single time the world champion has ridden it belongs to Pugacha.
