Why this matters in The Waco
While Tadej Pogacar's solo win in Stage 14 of the Tour de France may seem like a distant event to Waco residents, the story has relevance to local cycling enthusiasts. The Tour de France is a premier international cycling competition that draws attention from cycling communities worldwide, including those in McLennan County. Local bike shops and cycling clubs in Waco may be following Pogacar's progress, and his impressive performance could inspire local riders to push themselves in their own training and competitions.
