Tadej Pogacar may renew his contract with UAE Team Emirates once again! This time, until 2030
CyclingThursday, 27 June 2024 at 10:23
Tadej Pogacar looks set to spend his entire career with UAE Team Emirates. The Slovenian cyclist has already renewed his contract with the team on several occasions with long-term deals but the biggest of all may take him all the way to 2030 already.
According to Ciro Scognamiglio of Gazzetta dello Sport, the young Slovenian talent, who is about to participate in the Tour de France 2024, intends to extend his contract with the Emirati team for three more years, as his current contract expires in 2027.
Go directly to the Fantasy Tour de France and create your own Fantasy team. At least 12.350 USD/11.500 Euro/9,700 GBP in prizes!
It should be remembered that Pogi, one of Joxean Fernández Matxín's discoveries, landed at UAE in 2019, so if he renews and reaches 2030 he would reach a whopping 12 seasons in the same squad, something that is not at all easy in today's sport.
Although no figures of his possible salary have been leaked, we imagine that it will be around 6 million euros - what is reported to be his current salary - although the figures could have increased with respect to his previous contracts seeing that his performance is getting better and better as we saw during the last Giro d'Italia.
UNTIL THE AGE OF 32
If he fulfills his new contract with UAE, it would expire in 2030 at the age of 32. We don't know if, having started racing so early, he will be hungry for more cycling. After a few first years in different Slovenian teams and racing for the continental team Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum, Pogi landed in 2019 in his current team and quickly showed his potential by winning the Volta ao Algarve, the Tour of California and finishing third and winning three stages in the Vuelta a España.
Since then it is absolutely crazy what he has achieved with 2 wins, 2 second places and 11 stages in the Tour de France, 1 Giro GC win and 6 stages (in what was his debut), 3 Lombardia editions, 2 Liège-Bastogne-Liège, 1 Tour de Flanders... All whilst being one of the most popular and friendly riders in the peloton. All of this at the age of only 25. Absolute madness. We are not surprised that UAE wants to keep him for life, and with the team's budget we could see historic numbers in the sport.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024

- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
