The 2024 season was practically perfect for Tadej Pogacar. The Slovenian won the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championships, as well as two monuments. But in a sport as competitive as cycling, all that doesn't count from the moment you start the next year according to Tour legend Miguel Indurain.

The Spanish legend recently attended Marca with an interview in which he spoke about many topics. One of them has been the UAE Team Emirates - XRG star. Although he has made it clear that he doesn't know him personally, Induráin has sent Pogacar a warning.

"He has a good structure behind him," he begins by saying about the Slovenian when asked if he can improve in 2025 on what he achieved last season. "In 2023 he had an injury, but last year he was very strong. Mind you, when a new season starts, what you won the year before is worthless."

UAE and Pogacar are well aware of this, long before Miguel Induráin's warning. For that reason, the Slovenian's calendar is as ambitious or even more ambitious than 2024. The official confirmation of his presence in the Vuelta a España is still pending, as the Emirati team has stated that they will decide later in the season. But his presence in La Vuelta is almost as certain as it is in Milano-Sanremo. These two races are among the few that Pogacar has yet to win, and he wants to do so in 2025.
