Hey, it\u2019s the offseason so that means it\u2019s always a good time for some fun content. Plus, the world seems a little nutty lately<\/a>, so we can always use a smile. Plus, everyone loves dogs, right? (And if you don\u2019t, please take a deep look inside.)<\/p>\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a>, the two-time world champ and the best rider in the world (perhaps ever), always seems to have some solid social media. Whether it\u2019s his Christmas sweater ride with his partner Urska Zigart, or a whole buncha wheelies, Pogi\u2019s content is fun.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Team UAE Emirates rider posted this gem of a clip to his social media.<\/p>\n

For 2026, he may start racing later than usual. Strade Bianche in March seems to the likely season opener, so no Tour Down Under.<\/p>\n

Then he wants to take two Monuments he hasn\u2019t won: Milano\u2013Sanremo and Paris\u2013Roubaix. He will also try and win Ronde van Vlaanderen again.<\/p>\n

His pre-Tour lead-up will be a little different. First off, no Giro. Instead, he will ride the Tour of Romandie and the Tour de Suisse for the first time.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what he will do following the Tour, but one thing is for sure: he will definitely be visiting Canada in September. There, he hopes to defend his world championship crown in Montreal, taking a third rainbow jersey. Speaking of jerseys, did you see the quick glance of his European championship jersey?<\/p>\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar just debuted a jersey he will never, ever wear<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In October, he also won the 2025 UEC road European championships. There, he crushed it in typical Poga\u010dar style, riding solo with 75 km to go. On New Year\u2019s Day, he sported a brand-new Euro champs jersey while out training. Unfortunately, that\u2019s the only time he will be able to wear the white and blue kit. The rainbow jersey sits at the very top when it comes to championship kits. But hey, he\u2019s free to wear it to the coffee shop.<\/p>\n
