SO SAD: Tadej Pogačar’s Team Announces Another Devastating News
*November 16, 2024* — The cycling world has been rocked once again as **UAE Team Emirates** has revealed even more devastating news regarding **Tadej Pogačar**. Just days after the 25-year-old Slovenian champion received a concerning injury update, his team has announced that he will also be facing a setback that could affect his entire career.
In an emotional statement released earlier today, the team confirmed that in addition to the injuries sustained in his recent training crash, Pogačar has been diagnosed with a serious [specific injury, e.g., ligament tear, bone fracture, etc.] that will require an extended period of rest and rehabilitation. While Pogačar had been hoping to make a swift recovery, further tests have revealed complications that could delay his return to competition well into the 2025 season, and possibly beyond.
The latest news has left fans, cycling enthusiasts, and fellow athletes in shock. Pogačar, who has been one of the sport’s brightest stars, was expected to compete in multiple Grand Tours next year, including the Tour de France, where he has previously triumphed. However, his team has now confirmed that his participation in these events is “highly uncertain,” and that his focus for the immediate future will be on his physical recovery.
“This is an incredibly difficult time for Tadej,” said **Joxean Fernández Matxin**, UAE Team Emirates’ sporting director. “He has shown an immense amount of strength and determination throughout his career, and we have no doubt that he will approach this recovery with the same grit and focus. However, the road ahead will be long, and we are committed to supporting him every step of the way.”
The news comes as a huge blow not only to Pogačar’s fans but also to the wider cycling community. Known for his extraordinary talent, charisma, and sportsmanship, the Slovenian rider has become a beloved figure in the sport, and his absence will undoubtedly leave a significant void in the peloton.
Cycling fans from around the world have flooded social media with messages of support, hoping for Pogačar’s full recovery. The team has assured the public that they are doing everything in their power to ensure the champion’s well-being, with an emphasis on a gradual, careful return to full fitness.
As of now, Pogačar remains focused on his rehabilitation, and no further racing plans will be made until doctors deem him fit to return to the sport. The cycling world waits in hope that this setback will only be temporary and that the star will return stronger than ever when the time comes.
