There was little competition to battle with him, but Tadej Pogacar has returned to racing with a bang, winning the Slovenian time-trial national championships.
He rode the 15.7-kilometer course faster than in 2020 where he had already taken the win, but this year his victory had over 5 minutes of lead over the competition. Marko Pavlic and Anze Skok have completed the podium, 5:14 and 6:30 minutes behind.

- Exactly, and for that, opponents have to be fresh at the right moment. It’s a hard thing to do right because you also have to provoke the situation to crack.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- From the discussion and publicity his not racing seems to develop, he’s obviously worth the investment, Visma is still just as discussed and known as UAE, despite not winning as much nowadays.Mistermaumau15-06-2025
- A crack only happens if the opponents push on a bad day otherwise it will be a missed opportunityabstractengineer15-06-2025
- what race were you watching? tadej showed no weakness today. and BTW anyone can crack on a bad day, that is the definition of a bad day. you crack.mij15-06-2025
- regardless stupid comment by the reporter. Jonas didn’t lose minutes because Tadej didn’t ride as hard as he could have. there was no morale victory. jonas isn’t as good right now, and tadej can drop him anytime. could change for the tour, hopefully it does a bit so we have a racemij15-06-2025
- Like previous years, Pogi has shown that he is susceptible to a crack on a bad day. Visma needs to keep at it till he cracks while keeping the gap in reaching distanceabstractengineer15-06-2025

- One year ago, Jonas suffered a life-threatening injury that only a decade ago would have been a career-ending injury. Then a concussion this year. He talked about it ! People can die from such injuries - weeks after a concussion due to a slow-growing hematoma. He was only 14 seconds back on Tadej Pogacar after 4500m of climbing ! You critics are nitwits about medicine. You could just get by on macho bravado, and luck that your career wasn't ended by injury. Look at the crash scene footage of a year ago, and tell me you would have recovered from slamming into a 2 ft. square box/ditch of concrete. at 30kph. I don't think any of you would have. Further what did Armstrong do ? He targeted the TDF exclusively and he wasn't even recovering from injury. He made plenty of money for himself especially .- and his team.amadeusfg15-06-2025
- Bjarne, think about 1999, Stage 2 Tour de Suisse. You retired in 2000 because of injuries to your knee and elbow. Nothing compared to Jonas's injuris from one year ago. Further, I do not want to hear from an admitted drug cheater. Especially when he is sniping a true champion and hero. Go away Bjarne. One year ago, Jonas suffered a life-threatening injury that only a decade ago would have been a career-ending injury. He did not quit. Then a concussion this year. He talked about it ! People can die from such injuries - weeks after a concussion due to a slow-growing hematoma. People don't die from knee and elbow injuries. He was only 14 seconds back on Tadej Pogacar after 4500m of climbing ! Is your ego so fragile that you need to paint this as some kind of shame to Denmark ? or cycling ? For all his gentle demeanor, I know who is the real man here. It is Jonas.amadeusfg15-06-2025
