Tadej Pogacar, the Slovenian cycling sensation and UAE Team Emirates XRG rider, has decided to forego participating in the Vuelta a Espana to recuperate after his recent Tour de France victory.

The 26-year-old conquered the renowned French tour for the fourth time, but acknowledged feeling fatigued during the race's final stretch, leading to this strategic decision.

He is set to rejoin the cycling circuit with appearances in Quebec and Montreal, followed by a title defense at the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda. His sole appearance in the Vuelta was in 2019, securing three stage wins.
