Yesterday, the Giro d'Italia dropped the bomb that was Tadej Pogacar's presence in the 2024 race. This meant a change in his calendar, however the doubts are clear. His schedule is public and includes some surprises.
This has been talked publicly today at the UAE Team Emirates camp where the riders and managers are having media day. Tadej Pogacar will race both Giro d'Italia and Tour de France and will contest the overall classification in both - the first time he'll race two in one season.
Pogacar will start off his season at Strade Bianche, and will then race Milano-Sanremo and the Volta a Catalunya. Pogacar will then take a break from racing, skipping both cobbled and Ardennes classics. This time will be used to prepare for the Giro d'Italia with training (and an altitude camp) and according to the plan, should have no racing - although Liège-Bastogne-Liège is very much a possibility on the menu.
He will race the Giro, then rest and train ahead of the Tour with no race days inbetween. After the Tour de France Pogacar will aim for the Olympic Games in Paris. Perhaps some races may be added in the meantime, but UAE Team Emirates share that the superstar will race the Canadian classics before travelling to Switzerland for the Zürich World Championships.
