Tadej PogaÄar displayed his unpredictable cycling strategy at the UAE Tour in 2025, moving ahead of the peloton with Domen Novak. Their well-timed attack, reminiscent of a previous playful maneuver at the Volta a Catalunya, resulted in a successful 11-man breakaway that lasted significantly into the race. PogaÄar expressed a sense of enjoyment in this initiative, emphasizing the camaraderie within the group while making sure to conserve energy for the final stages. Their humorous nature break added a lighthearted touch to an otherwise competitive race atmosphere.
It was just a funny moment like it was last year in Volta a Catalunya, me and Domen [Novak] alone in the front with one minute and a half gap in the bunch.
Then we just sort of committed and tried not to spend too much, just rotate with the guys and follow their pace.
I donât know how me and Tadej were in the break but we stopped for a pee then we came back with some speed.
Todayâs move was more of a calculated risk, unlike last year where we ended up hiding in bushes.
