Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar will not race in next month’s Vuelta a Espana as he takes a break before focusing on the World Championships.<\/b><\/p>\n

Pogacar won his fourth Tour de France<\/a> last week to further establish himself as the dominant force in modern cycling.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old won road race gold at the World Championships last year with an epic attack from 100km out and is aiming to defend his crown in Rwanda in late September.<\/p>\n

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider will return to racing at the Canadian one-day races in Quebec and Montreal in mid-September.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited to go back to Canada; the races are tough but beautiful, and they fit my style well,” Pogacar said.<\/p>\n

“I’ll be aiming to be back racing well again for that part of the season and for the World Championships especially.”<\/p>\n

The Vuelta is the only one of the three Grand Tours Pogacar has not won, having finished third during his only appearance in 2019.<\/p>\n

The 2025 World Championships will be the first to take place in Africa and will be held in the Rwandan capital Kigali from 21-28 September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
