The UAE Emirates team announced the contract renewal with Tadej Pogacar, securing the continuation of the Slovenian cyclist with the Emirati outfit. This renewal comes at a particular moment in the athlete's career, as he has been away from competition since the serious crash he suffered at the Vuelta.
Pogacar suffered a spectacular crash during the Vuelta, which forced him to interrupt his season and begin a recovery period. The accident raised concern in the cycling world, given the importance of the rider to the team and to the sport in general.
Despite the temporary sidelining, UAE Emirates demonstrated full confidence in their leader by renewing the contract that binds him to the Emirati team. This decision reinforces the commitment of both parties for the future.
Pogacar's return to competitive racing is confirmed only for 2027, which means fans will have to wait longer than initially expected to see the Slovenian champion in action.
