Young Czech talent Mathias Vacek has had a breakthrough performance at the UAE Tour and has been rumoured to be in advanced talks with Trek-Segafredo for a contract starting in 2023.
The information has been reported by Gazzetta dello Sport's Ciro Scognamiglio. Vacek was the winner of the recent UAE Tour's stage six where a breakaway consisting of mainly Pro Teams managed to hold off the peloton and where Russian Gazprom - Rusvelo placed three riders in the breakaway and launched Vacek into the win. This made Vacek the second youngest ever stage winner in a World Tour race only behind Remco Evenepoel.
After a day in the breakaway, Velon reported that the 19-year old averaged a power of 1444 watts in his winning sprint for 10 seconds. This information surely made it's ways within the scouting of several World Tour teams and within days rumours have already emerged of his feature. Mathias and his brother Karel - current Tirol KTM Cycling Team rider - are between the new talents emerging from the Czech Republic.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
