'Massively underpaid' - Tadej Pogačar deserves far more for 'star power' role in cycling, argues Tejay van Garderen

2024 Il Lombardia: Tadej Pogačar celebrates his final victory of his best season to date.

Reigning World Champion and multiple Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar is 'massively underpaid' given the amount of star power he brings to the sport, former US rider Tejay van Garderen has suggested. And that's even if Pogačar is  already likely the best-paid bike rider on the planet.

Following his best season to date,  La Gazzetta dello Sport  reported that Pogačar had received both an extension and pay rise to his current contract with UAE Team Emirates. His deal is now due to end in 2030, and during that time he will reportedly earn €50 million in six years, as well as having a €200 million buy-out clause.
