Tadej Pogačar and Urška Žigart have officially ended their long-term relationship, marking the conclusion of one of cycling’s most beloved power couples. After years of sharing not just personal milestones but also the grueling highs and lows of professional cycling, the two athletes have decided to go their separate ways.
Sources close to the couple indicate that the decision was mutual and made with respect and care. While neither Pogačar nor Žigart has released a detailed statement, those familiar with the matter say the pressures of their respective careers played a significant role. Balancing global competitions, training schedules, and media obligations reportedly left little room for nurturing their personal relationship.
Despite the split, both have expressed deep admiration for each other’s achievements. Friends say the bond they built through shared experiences on and off the bike will not be forgotten. “We gave it everything but sometimes, love just isn’t enough,” one insider quoted Pogačar as saying in private conversations. The two had been together for several years and often appeared publicly in support of one another, making the breakup all the more surprising to fans.
Tadej Pogačar, a two-time Tour de France champion and current face of UAE Team Emirates, remains focused on his future in professional cycling, with his eyes set on upcoming Grand Tours. Urška Žigart, a professional rider in her own right and a national champion, is said to be redirecting her energy toward personal growth and future career goals.
The announcement has sparked an outpouring of support from fans and fellow athletes across social media, with many expressing their admiration for the maturity and grace both riders have shown. While the end of their relationship is undoubtedly a personal loss, their contributions to the sport and their mutual respect continue to inspire many.
