Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (Uae Team), fresh from his stunning world championship 100km breakaway win last Sunday in Zurich, won the Giro dell'Emilia Saturday with a 37 km solo breakaway that began on the first of five passages on the Colle di San Luca.
    Briton Tom Pidcock was second with almost two minutes gap, and young Italian Davide Piganzoli came third.
    Pogacar, 26, this year became only the third male cyclist after Eddy Merckx in 1974 and Stephen Roche in 1987, to achieve the Triple Crown of Cycling, winning the Giro, the Tour, and the World Championships in the same year.
