From roadsides to team hotels to sign-ons, over the years, it's often been proven that cycling stars and their encounters with fans are not always a match made in heaven. The latest proof of that affected none other than current men's number 1 racer, Tadej Pogačar.
During a recent training ride, the UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider said he was subject to some verbal abuse after asking a fan to wait for a few minutes for an autograph.
Writing on his Strava account, Pogačar recounted that he had been yelled at by the fan's irate partner, as well as given a clear physical message about what the fan thought of his request being delayed.
