Tadej Pogacar Declares, “I Am Fit and Ready for the Next Season,” as UAE Team Emirates Rider Resumes Training
As November comes to a close, Tadej Pogacar is back to business, shifting gears from his off-season travels to the rigors of training. The UAE Team Emirates star, who capped his remarkable 2023-2024 season with a victory at Il Lombardia, has returned to the structured preparation that defines his path to success.
After an off-season filled with visits to several countries and moments of relaxation, the Slovenian prodigy is ready to get back in action. “I feel fit and ready for the next season,” Pogacar confidently announced as he resumed his training regimen just two weeks ahead of UAE Team Emirates’ first training camp in the Alicante region of Spain.
A Glorious End to the Season
Pogacar’s triumph at Il Lombardia in October was a fitting conclusion to another stellar year. The win solidified his place as one of the most consistent and dominant riders in the peloton, adding to his palmarès that already includes multiple Tour de France titles and other prestigious victories. Despite an intense racing calendar, Pogacar maintained an aggressive and winning form deep into the year, underscoring his status as a cyclist who thrives under pressure.
Off-Season Recharge
Following his final race of the season, Pogacar took time off to recharge, traveling and immersing himself in diverse experiences. Known for his lively personality off the bike, the Slovenian used the time to reset mentally while ensuring his fitness did not waver entirely.
This period of relaxation allowed Pogacar to return to training with renewed motivation. “The off-season was great for recharging, but now it’s time to focus on what’s ahead,” he said.
Preparation for 2025 Goals
Pogacar’s return to training is timed perfectly to lead into UAE Team Emirates’ first training camp, scheduled to begin in mid-December in Alicante. These camps serve as a cornerstone for the team’s season preparation, offering opportunities to build team cohesion, refine strategies, and set the groundwork for upcoming races.
“The training camp in Alicante is crucial,” Pogacar emphasized. “It’s where we come together as a team, assess our goals, and start working on the plans that will shape our next season.”
Eyes on the Next Season
As one of the most formidable riders in the peloton, Pogacar is expected to lead UAE Team Emirates in their bid for further dominance in 2025. His goals likely include another Tour de France title, alongside a calendar of one-day races and Grand Tours that will challenge him to maintain his legendary consistency.
By resuming training early, Pogacar is sending a clear message: he is as motivated and hungry for success as ever. Fans and rivals alike will be watching closely as the Slovenian embarks on another chapter in his illustrious career.
Building Momentum
With just weeks before the team gathers in Spain, Pogacar’s return to training marks the first steps toward another ambitious season. For cycling enthusiasts, it’s the beginning of a journey that promises thrilling races, relentless competition, and more historic moments from one of the sport’s greatest talents.
As Pogacar himself put it: “The road to success starts now.”
