CONFIRMED: Tadej Pogačar Will Depart from UAE Team Emirates XRG After 2025 Season
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the professional cycling world, it has been officially confirmed that Tadej Pogačar will leave UAE Team Emirates XRG at the conclusion of the 2025 season. The announcement came via a coordinated press release from both the rider and team management, marking the end of one of the most successful eras in modern cycling.
Pogačar, the Slovenian prodigy who rose to stardom with UAE Team Emirates, has captured two Tour de France titles, multiple Monument wins, and a Giro d’Italia crown under the team’s banner. His dynamic racing style and fearless attacks have made him a fan favorite and a defining force in the peloton.
“I have immense gratitude for everything this team has given me,” Pogačar said in an emotional statement. “From my first professional races to Grand Tour victories, we built something unforgettable. But the time has come for a new challenge, a new environment, and fresh motivation.”
The departure marks the end of a golden chapter for UAE Team Emirates XRG, who have invested heavily in supporting Pogačar with top-tier teammates, coaching, and technology.
Team principal Mauro Gianetti thanked Pogačar for his contributions, calling him “a once-in-a-generation talent” and adding, “While we are sad to see him go, we will always be proud of what we achieved together.”
Speculation is already mounting about Pogačar’s next destination, with rumors linking him to Ineos Grenadiers, Lidl-Trek, or a possible shock move to a newly forming super team backed by major sponsors.
As the 2025 season progresses, Pogačar is expected to continue leading the team in major races, including the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, as he bids farewell to the squad where he made cycling history.
