Tadej Pogacar is back! The Giro d'Italia and Tour de France champion is heading to Canada, where he will lead UAE Team Emirates as the Slovenian steps up his preparation for the upcoming World Championships.
“I’ve had a good break from racing and am eager to get back to it now starting in Canada," the 25-year-old says in conversation with UAE Team Emirates' official website as his leadership for the 2024 GP Quebec (13 Sept) and GP Montreal (15 Sept) were confirmed. "It’s a beautiful part of the world to ride a bike in and I have great memories here from two years ago."
With Pogacar joined by the former GP Montreal winner Tim Wellens and the returning Juan Ayuso, plus the likes of Finn Fisher-Black, Rafal Majka, Igor Arrieta and Domen Novak, UAE Team Emirates is sending a very strong squad to North America.
"The level will be high there as always and we will need to be at our best," previews Pogacar himself. " Whatever happens for the rest of the season I can be happy with what I’ve achieved this year. Anything else will be a bonus. My condition is good and I’m focused on enjoying and doing well in this last part of the season.”

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
