Full attention will turn to Tadej Pogačar this Saturday as he makes his 2026 season debut at Strade Bianche, the first of five one-day Classics he will take on this Spring.
It's the first year of his illustrious career that he won't be racing at a stage race until as late as April, with UAE Team Emirates-XRG allowing him to streamline his calendar and cherry-pick the races he wants in order to keep his motivation high through variation and, hopefully, his fatigue low.
