Tadej Pogacar's dominance in the Giro d'Italia continued as he clinched victory in stage 15, further solidifying his lead in the overall standings by nearly three minutes. Surrounded by enthusiastic fans along the route to the Mottolino ski resort, the Team UAE leader secured his fourth stage win, establishing a commanding lead of around 6 minutes and 41 seconds with six stages remaining.
Reflecting on his performance, Pogacar remained humble, describing the win as "very nice" but not necessarily the greatest of his career. Despite the challenging conditions throughout the day, the Slovenian showcased his strength in the final 15 kilometers, demonstrating his superiority over his rivals.
Pogacar's chase to overtake Nairo Quintana, who led the escape group, showcased his determination and speed. The 25-year-old Slovenian swiftly passed each escapee before surpassing Quintana just two minutes from the finish line. While Quintana finished second, Pogacar's lead in the overall standings leaves him as the overwhelming favorite to claim victory in the Giro d'Italia.
