The winner of the Giro and Tour will not represent Slovenia at the Olympics. His agent: “He needs to take a breather and the route is not very suitable for his characteristics”
Tadej Pogacar, fresh from winning his third Tour de France, will not be at the Paris Games. The Slovenian Olympic Committee announced this. The reason for this decision seems to be disappointment over the exclusion of his teammate Urska Zigart, who will not be part of the Slovenian expedition despite being the reigning national champion in both the road race and the time trial.

Asked about the matter, Pogacar’s agent Alex Carera told Sky Sport: “We think the route of the Games is not suited to his characteristics. The real goal is the World Championships in Zurich. Doing the double like Pantani was something legendary. He has a big dream, that of winning all the most important races in the world, and he is missing the World Championships, the Vuelta and Paris-Roubaix”.
