Tadej Pogacar will travel to Montreal to support Slovenia in the Road World Championship

Tadej Pogacar, the prominent Slovenian cyclist, will travel to Montreal to support his team in the Road World Championship, after suffering serious injuries in La Vuelta. Despite being unable to compete due to a concussion, fractures, and surgeries, Pogacar will offer his support as a fan. His presence, confirmed by the coach Uroš Murn, aims to strengthen the Slovenian team in the road races.

Support for the team and family reasons

The UAE Emirates leader expressed his intention to arrive in Canada during the road races week and accompany his fiancée, Urška Žigart, who will compete in the elite women's race. Despite not being able to pedal, Pogacar will be there to cheer on and support his teammates.

A shift in roles and leadership

Pogacar's absence from the Montreal Cycling World Championship changes the landscape for Slovenia, freeing their riders from the pressure of controlling the race and allowing them to adopt a more aggressive attitude. In this new scenario, Primoz Roglic, second in La Vuelta a España, will take on the leadership of the Slovenian team, trusting in the chances of victory and the excellent form shown by the team.

Expectations and favorites

Coach Uroš Murn has confidence in the possibilities of Roglic and other cyclists like Evenepoel and Van Aert, considering them as contenders for victory at the World Championship. The presence of two leaders in the Belgian team generates excitement, while Pogacar's absence opens up opportunities for other prominent riders coming from La Vuelta.
