‘I still need some time to analyse what I really want’ - Tadej Pogačar to return to the UAE Tour, but 2027 race calendar still undecided with Tour de France the main target

Tadej Pogačar has outlined his primary goals for the upcoming 2027 cycling calendar, centering his ambitions on securing another Tour de France victory, capturing a fourth world title, and targeting a successful campaign at the Vuelta a España. The rider noted that a final decision regarding his early-season schedule will be determined during a team training camp in December after reviewing three distinct options provided by his management.

While event organizers in Adelaide have actively pursued his presence for the Tour Down Under, the Slovenian star indicated a strong likelihood of rejoining the Spring Classics and making a comeback at the UAE Tour. Despite mapping out these broad seasonal objectives and acknowledging the grueling nature of the three-week French grand tour, he admitted he has not yet examined the specific route layout recently unveiled for July.
