CyclingThursday, 04 August 2022 at 23:30
Mike Teunissen was not present in the sixth stage of the Tour of Pologne . The Dutchman abandoned the tour, but he has a good reason: he is getting married this Saturday.
His team Jumbo Visma revealed via social media that decision not to participate was finalized before the race. He will be quite busy getting prepared for his marriage. "Prior to the Tour of Poland, it was decided that Mike will not start in this time trial. Mike will marry his wife this Saturday," Jumbo-Visma posted on social media.
The Tour of Poland will end on Friday, but it was not enough time for him since he is supposed to tie the knots the next day, which could have made things hectic, not to mention some unforeseen accident in the race. He was in 42nd place in the general classification, one minute behind leader Sergio Higuita.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025

- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
