adej Pogacar, the world champion and three-time Tour de France winner, recently secured a new contract with UAE Team Emirates that will keep him with the team until 2030.

At just 26 years old, the Slovenian cyclist had an extraordinary season, achieving a rare double by winning both the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. Additionally, he secured the world championship title and notable victories in prestigious Monuments, including Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour of Lombardy. In total, Pogacar amassed an impressive 25 wins throughout the season, marking a remarkable year for the athlete.
