Pogi after the Tour: Every once in a while I'd lock myself in a room, but sometimes I just want to hang out

Cyclist Tadej Pogačar has returned to Slovenia after winning five stages at the Tour de France. He will host the Pogi Challenge event in his hometown of Komenda until Sunday, which includes a criterium race and other activities. Pogačar will compete alongside several international cyclists, including Michael Matthews and Matteo Trentin, and will also ride the route of the upcoming European Championships in Slovenia, which will take place in October. The route features challenging climbs such as Možjance and Štefanja Gora, where Pogačar is expected to be a favorite. Despite his recent success, Pogačar admits he is still adjusting to non-competitive routines and experiences fluctuations in energy levels. He has not yet decided whether he will participate in the Vuelta a España starting on August 22. The Pogi Challenge also has a charitable component, with proceeds supporting children and young people affected by serious illnesses like cancer, as well as those impacted by natural disasters. The event will include auctions of Pogačar’s memorabilia, such as his Tour de France mascot.

He noted that Pogačar's achievements were unimaginable in 2018 but have since placed him at the top of the world alongside Slovenia. Mezgec emphasized that Pogačar deserves recognition for his success, including five wins this year at the Tour de France.
