We Tried To Copy Tadej Pogačar's Hardest Training Session

We’re attempting the toughest training session of a Tour de France champion to show you how ridiculously fit they really are! GCN's presenters head to Benidorm to recreate Tadej Pogačar’s record-breaking 226km training ride through the Spanish mountains. Can our team of amateurs and ex-pros match the pace of one of history’s greatest athletes, or will the "Pogi" pace be too much to handle?
