Tour winner Tadej Pogacar will not participate in the Olympic Games in Paris after all. This was announced by the Slovenian Olympic team on social media. Pogacar was supposed to participate in the road race next Saturday.
The official story is that the 25-year-old Pogacar is too tired from the Tour de France. However, something else may be going on. The Slovenian Cycling Federation did not select his fiancée Urska Zigart for the Games, even though she is Slovenian road and time trial champion.
Pogacar previously expressed his displeasure about this decision on social media.
Tomorrow, Pogacar, who won the Tour with a great display of power, will be in action in the Surhuisterveen criterium.
Pogacar’s next appointment is in Surhuisterveen: ‘I looked up where it is’
