He won almost everything in 2024 and intends to do it again next year. Tadej Pogacar unveiled his program for the coming season this Tuesday.
He had already announced that he would not attempt the Giro, Tour de France and Vuelta triple in 2025, this time he clarified his program. On Tadej Pogacar's menu, very heavy, monuments, classics, and two grand tours, without specifying which ones.
The Slovenian's season of 26 will restart on February 17 at the Tour of the Emirates (incidentally the sponsor of his team). “He will then do the Strade Bianche, Milan-San Remo, the E3 Grand Prix, Ghent-Wevelgem, the Tour of Flanders before the Ardennes classics,” Matxin announced at a press conference in Benidorm, in the south-east from Spain, where UAE is on training.

Unsurprisingly, he will compete in the Tour de France with the stated objective of winning a 4th crown. “Pogi” will participate in a second Grand Tour in 2025, but is still waiting to know the routes of the Giro, the presentation of which has been postponed until January, and the Vuelta to choose. He won the Giro for his first participation in 2024, while at the Vuelta, he finished on the podium in the only edition he competed in.
No Paris-Roubaix
He will once again be very present on the classics, with a return to the Tour of Flanders which he skipped this year. A lack all the same: Paris-Roubaix, which he has never competed in, will once again not appear on the Slovenian's program in 2025.
Pogacar must also defend his title at the World Championships in September in Rwanda on a very demanding course in Kigali. He should then end his season on October 11 at the Tour of Lombardy, the last Monument of the year, where he will aim for a fifth consecutive success.
In 2024, the 26-year-old Slovenian achieved one of the greatest seasons in the history of his sport with 25 victories including a third Tour de France, the Tour of Italy, the World Championships and two Monuments, Liège-Bastogne- Liège and the Tour of Lombardy.
