Tadej Pogacar skips the Olympics: girlfriend Urska Zigart enters

No Paris Olympics for Tadej Pogacar. The now legendary Slovenian cyclist, winner of Giro d'Italia and Tour de France within a few months, will not be at the start of the Games, where three years ago in Tokyo he won a prestigious bronze medal.

His manager justified the choice of his aide this way: "The Olympics will be held on a course unsuitable for his characteristics. He could rest, because é the goal now è the World Cup in Zurich. Tadej has a big dream, to win all the most important races in the world, and he misses the World Cup, Vuelta and Paris-Roubaix".

According to rumors there would be forò another reason: Pogacar would also give up in controversy with the Slovenian federation, which did not summon his girlfriend Urska Zigart for the Games despite the fact that she is bi-national time trial champion.

Pogacar will also skip the Vuelta of Spain and will only return in the fall for the World Cycling Championships.
