The pbm is he said he proved to himself what he can achieve & now he will split the focus doing other things & thats not a good news for his fans cause it means that he isn't obsessed anymore as he used to be & might not train as hard as he used to be which u may think the next 5 years wont be as good as the past 5

He wants vacations. Let's see how strong he will be in 2 months.

If he wanted that there is no need to be vocal about it. Its not a new thing for him to have vacations, it just seems weird what he is turned into the last weeks

So now it's confirmed, he is not going to Vuelta. I really hope he does San Sebastian at least. Winning San Sebastian and Quebec would be quite nice.

He's not going to the Vuelta a la Vuelta to rest, so he's certainly not going to a classic next week. He's also said he'll be competing in a criterium in Slovenia next week.

You are probably right that he will rest but he would have time to go, since San Sebastian is one week before Criterium in Slovenia.

Late to the party, but just wanted to say "Chapeau" to Pogacar for how he rode yesterday. What an incredible champion and entertainer. Gave it all he had in front of those throngs, in that venue, then a fantastic wave to the crowd at the end.

Cheers. Really is a great, attacking champion who can do it all, uphill, downhill, cobbles, whatever. Amazing.

If he does skip the Vuelta it will be to keep the team happy - which was what Geraint Thomas said was the resaon last year - nothing to do with fatigue IMO. All the more so because UAE made such a giant mess of the Giro.

It clearly says ''Pogacar não participa e o português será líder da UAE Emirates, a par do espanhol Juan Ayuso''.

Dude, I'm portuguese. Read the full article.

"Tadej Pogacar não vai participar na Volta à Espanha e a liderança da UAE Team Emirates vai estar a cargo de João Almeida e do espanhol Juan Ayuso. A notícia foi avançada na manhã desta segunda feita pelo jornal As, informando ainda que o vencedor do Tour vai anunciar a decisão na quarta-feira."

They followed what As said this morning. Pogacar didn't announce anything.

No Vuelta I feel like is 90-95% at this point. Im with Tom Danielson's takes in regards to Tadej's last week - crash and sickness hampered him, his body didn't feel right, it was cold, pre and post stages interviews etc. etc. That takes a toll on your body and at that point, you just wanna go home with the Maillot Jaune and call it a day. He needs to chill in Monaco for a while now!

Rwanda big goal, Lombardia is a wrap as well if he's in shape. I wonder if he will race in Canada or not this year. What are the alternatives? Maybe he just doesn't do any races leading up to it, that could be an option as well. Its not like he really needs it, but Canada is usually good prep, but will be a lot of travelling

Maybe it's lost in translation but do they mean that will Pogacar will announce that he wont race the Vuelta on Wednesday or that he haven't made his mind up and will announce his decision on Wednesday?

I'm pretty sure this is just speculation. But according As, he will announce on Wednesday, he won't race the Vuelta.
