What I fear. Thinking about retirement when he is not even 30 years old... they really burn these kids very early, don't they?

Last year, he said he didn't care about the Olympics because they weren't important in the history of cycling. It's true, until the 1990s, it was an amateur category.
I would like to read the full interview and not have it be the typical click bait.

All he has to do is change up the programme or take a year off.
He’ll have forever to retire with no regrets

Why? It's just 2 weeks after the Tour. I'm pretty sure they will start the Tour in June
He may be trolling again, mate. Talking about retirement.
All these stupid questions from the media are annoying.

It clashes with normal TDF schedule. But lets wait.
I hope he is not serious with those early retirement plans.

Retire at 36. Have as many kids as you like. Age to see them have kids. Relax and enjoy. Watch many many target your accomplishments
He is as serious as when he said the same thing to Healy months ago.
I don't fall for Pog's games anymore.

This is the typical thought at the end of the Tour. They usually end up exhausted, but above all, fed up with the press and haters. When the season starts in February, they think differently.
Although I prefer that to Froome's situation.
Once Eddy saw he couldn't dominate, he retired immediately. He was retired at 32. Although they weren't that old before, Poulidor and others retired past 35, but the greatest prefer to retire at the top.

He ain’t retiring until it’s fairly universally agreed within cycling that he’s the goat, he’s not there yet, he needs several more grand tours and the same of monuments for this.
He hasn’t won San remo, Paris-roubaix or vuelta yet, he needs at least one of all of those, or least 7 tours. It’s harder to dominate like Merckx now, so he doesn’t need as much, but he still needs a fair bit more to make up the distance

I'd rather see Pogacar retire like Eddy when he realizes he's no longer the best in the world than see him winning stages from the breakaway and inflating his numbers like others.
I wouldn't even consider him crawling like Froome. He should have more dignity.

Anyway, looking the outcome of this stage, I'm pretty sure he'll skip the Vuelta.
Fatigue or illness..he's spent and needs time to recover for Worlds

He has a contract until 2030.
By the way, he's confirmed that he'll be competing in the Tour next year. Did anyone doubt it?
It's what the sponsor wants, and even though Pogacar prefers other races, he knows that to be one of the best in history, he has to win five Tours.
It's important to keep in mind that these statements are coming in the third week of the Tour, with the press and haters being very persistent.
All the best riders have always had their low spirits at this momento of the season.
I wouldn't take him as a reference. We'll have to see how things go over time. What I don't see, as I said, is him at 35 joining a Tour breakaway to win stages because he can no longer compete for the overall standings, or padding his stats in the Tour de Suisse or Romandie.
He'll retire shortly after coming down from the summit, like Eddy and Hinautl, who retired younger than some of their rivals for that reason
Thank you for being a bike racer TP!
Congrats!
