Yesterday we published that INEOS Grenadiers had tried to sign Tadej Pogacar by contacting his agent after the last Tour de France. Today we can confirm that the Slovenian will not ride for the British team and will continue to be in the colours of UAE Team Emirates;
Thus, the Slovenian rider's representative, Alex Carrera, has spoken to AS and has made it clear that the pass at this time is completely ruled out: "There was a meeting with members of Ineos who showed me their interest in signing Tadej. They wanted to know if he was free and I told them no, because he has a contract with UAE until 2027. If they wanted him before that date, they would have to talk to me first, but Tadej is happy at UAE. After 2027, we will see what can happen."
Thus, Pogacar has a contract with UAE until 2027 and his termination clause would be around one hundred million euros so a departure before his contract ends seems unlikely: No, I think Ineos will not insist more with the signing because they would have to pay a large amount of money for the penalty. After 2027, I am not sure."
