Slovenia's Pogacar Tadej celebrates on podium winning the 8th stage and retaining the pink jersey of the overall leader of the Giro d'Italia cycling race, in Prati di Tivo, Italy, May 11, 2024

Pogacar was first to Prato di Tivo on the summit finish of the eighth stage, the hardest of the race so far.

The Slovenian cyclist had time — and energy — to raise his arms in celebration as he crossed the line, edging out Daniel Martinez and Ben O’Connor in a sprint to add more seconds to his already considerable lead.
