Tadej Pogačar, after a grueling Tour de France, will take a break before competing in Canadian races and the World Championships. He won't participate in the Vuelta a España. Pogačar aims to return to the Tour de France in 2026 for a potential record-equalling fifth victory, hinting at retirement around the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He expressed a desire to win Paris-Roubaix and emphasized enjoying cycling rather than solely focusing on historical records.
