BERGAMO, Italy (Reuters) -Tadej Pogacar wrapped up a memorable season by becoming the first rider in 42 years to achieve a Tour de France-Giro di Lombardia double as the Slovenian claimed victory in the last Monument race of the season on Saturday.
The UAE-Emirates rider, who won his second Tour title in July after also prevailing in the Liege-Bastogne-Liege Monument classic in the Spring, is the first to add the 'Lombardia" to the Tour in the same year since Frenchman Bernard Hinault in 1979.
