The Slovenian announces his 2025 calendar, exclusive photos of his new Colnago Y1RS
Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) will race the Tour de France in 2025 but UAE Team Emirates will not make the final decision on his second Grand Tour until the routes of the Vuelta a España and the Giro d’Italia are confirmed.
The Vuelta route will be unveiled later this year, but the Giro parcours will not be known - officially - until January. The team ruled out the idea of Pogačar riding all three Grand Tours in 2025.
The men’s road world champion will start his season at the UAE Tour in February, where he will show off the rainbow jersey in UAE Team Emirates’ home race.

We also know that Pogačar will return to Strade Bianche, a race he won in 2022 and 2024, before targeting Milan-San Remo and a stretch of cobbled Classics, including E3 Saxo Classic, Gent-Wevelgem, and the Tour of Flanders. Paris-Roubaix is not on his calendar for 2025. He will race all three of the Ardennes Classics in April.
