Tadej Pogacar is currently the best cyclist in the world. On the bike, the Slovenian is practically unrivaled, but off the bike, as a person, he is also a role model. Whenever he can, the two-time world champion is seen doing his bit for different charities. He even has one of his own, which has now been in the news after a beautiful gesture.Pogacar’s foundation recently awarded a total of 35 scholarships to students who have undergone or are currently undergoing cancer treatment. Initially, the amount to be awarded was 10. But the UAE Team Emirates – XRG rider insisted because, in his own words (reported in Siol), it was “difficult to have to turn someone down”.
“I would like to congratulate you for bravely facing an illness that has not taken away your faith in life, but has helped you become a better version of yourself. I could say that “Your letters embody Tadej’s motto: Never give up and never give in” said Marjeta Pogačar, a member of the three-person commission that reviewed the applications received.
