Tadej Pogacar is enjoying his off-season, and recently he has travelled to Colombia where he has been enjoying the local culture and company from other professional riders.
After a recent trip to the UAE where the team held a meet and media camp, Pogacar and his partner Urska Zygart have travelled to Colombia, where he has posted, and can also be seen enjoying the local festivities - such as in this video where he is together with Rigoberto Urán, Sergio Higuita and former pro Victor Hugo Peña.

- What a sad comment, Looking to put down one of the most talented riders around for no other reason than him not being as good as the most talented. Grateful you don’t opine on the other 200 or so who never get anywhere near that level no matter how many races they try or not. Most athletes are one-trick ponies (in fact most of the top talents in ANY job!), it is in the nature of an ever more demanding specificity of competing and professionalism. Criticising one of the top 2 or 3 GT riders just for being less good than one of the others is actually POINTLESS, you are in fact encouraging him and all others to not even bother and end up with what would basically be, one man races. Without wanting to change the nature of GTs, an interesting question would be, who would win if they’d be 3 weeks of solo efforts with no drafting or assistance? Would Pog have the motivation to ride a TdF alone against the clock or does he need competition to bring out his best?Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- Keep up Egan. Your learnings from defeats and struggles will take you back to victories.frankrider30-05-2025
- You are right,but, it’s not easy to convince a rider who feels he can still ride to stop. Again, it doesn’t seem like UAE have very strong management, reminiscent of Visma at their Vuelta sweep. BUT, what if it actually “suited”them to have Ayuso out at this moment?Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- It’s not necessarily a risk performance-wise, every riders improves best in his way of training, probably if Pog prepared Vingo’s way or Vingo prepared Pog’s way they’d both get beating by Remco ;-) Of course, if you were talking of crash or injury risk you’d be right, except that so far, Pog has gotten away relatively lightly in comparison.Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- What’s more, it’s just bad long-term team policy (they’re stuck with him a few more years) as it’s unlikely to motivate him to give more to the team or others or change him for their idea of better.Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- Maria, you picked on one pretty short comment Mr Flecha made during a long afternoon of commentary, at the time when that was the “action” on screen, that was probably mostly unbiaised. Sorry, tell me one commentator who is objective when his horse is in a race (to complicate: Belgian commentators critical of WVA during his bad patch or Remco over life choices also counts in the opposite way). That doesn’t seem very objective about his general reporting from your side either. I can’t vouch as I don’t watch anglo commentary anymore for being too anglo biased (and now that Eurosport (ironically), TNT, Sky, etc are US service assets that my dear friend Trump conveniently ignores when calculating his biased tarifs, I feel doubly vindicated in boycotting) but I can’t imagine their spectators sticking around long if he was as constantly totally biaised as made out here.Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- Jonas V is a one-trick pony and dull with it. Pogacar beats him with less preparation and spends the rest of the reason winning races Jonas doesn't dare enter. One of these two will be remembered for years to come.Renz30-05-2025
- Except when it comes to Italian riders who don’t torture cats ;-)Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- Bet many place bets on what AI predicts, without knowing anything about how it is programmed or influenced to predict, or realising how betting companies might manipulate the odds knowing how people will try to gain an “advantage”.Mistermaumau30-05-2025
- Everyone knows that Pog i s taking a risk by focusing on training exclusively for the Tour for only a few weeks instead of all year round, as Jonas does. But Plugge could easily mention this as simply a choice that Pog has made, which has been accepted up to now. Instead, he changes the narrative to insist that the real truth is Jonas is naturally better able to handle accumulated fatigue than Pog is. More psychological warfare than marketing.Hill3330-05-2025
