This is the latest news about Tadej Pogacar’s UAE Tour. In many respects, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) is predictable. For instance, he dominates a large portion of the calendar, as most people expect him to, and he attacked in Strade Bianche at the precise moment he promised everyone he would. However, with multiple attacks over 130 kilometers from the finish, he has kept everyone guessing throughout the week at the UAE Tour in 2025.
Is he bored? Does he see this as a game? Is detraining on a simple sprint stage a concern for him? As it happens, it might be a combination of the three. It was reminiscent of the Slovenian duo’s “practical joke” from the Volta a Catalunya the previous season when they surged to the front of the group at a speed of knots with 149 kilometers remaining and pushed away from the peloton. But the move stuck this time.

Soon after, defending UAE Tour champion Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto) was also in the wheel and committed, closely followed by Vincent Langellotti (Ineos Grenadiers). The new group joined those already ahead to form the 11-man breakaway that lasted until the 39-kilometer mark in Dubai.
“It was just a humorous moment, similar to when Domen [Novak] and I were the only people in the front of the group at Volta a Catalunya last year, with a one-and-a-half-minute gap. In his post-race press conference, Pogačar stated, “But today, other guys followed as well, and it turned out to be a breakaway.” “After that, we just kind of committed to keeping costs down, rotating with the guys, and going at their speed. It was a pleasant day out; I was enjoying myself, and as a result, we completed the stage considerably more quickly.”
Following a nature break in Catalunya, Pogačar and Novak ended their joke attack by hiding in some bushes. Nevertheless, the catalyst for today’s move was a fortuitous pause to use the restroom.
