Tadej Pogačar training for Tour de France in Slovenia
Tadej Pogačar, the wonder boy who stunned the cycling world by winning the most prestigious cycling race, Tour de France, two times in a row, reveals the secret of his success and how he feels connected with Slovenia.
“These landscapes shaped the way I cycle,” he says with an ever-smiling expression on his face. The story of “Pogi star”, as often nicknamed, is a story of remarkable energy, team spirit and astonishing natural beauties found in Slovenia - few countries can compare in terms of natural diversity, which makes Slovenia one of Europe’s most astonishing natural playgrounds.
Sports is what unites us here and Slovenian athletes are the greatest ambassadors. This video brings you closer to this remarkable energy, which is felt by Tadej Pogačar while riding along the most impressive and demanding cycling routes in Slovenia, among them also the road to the Vršič mountain pass, which reaches an elevation of 1,611 meters and has 50 numbered hairpin bends like the famous Tour de France climb to Alpe d’Huez. “This is my way of freedom”, he concludes.

That's why i love the pogacar and vingegaard rivalry. In any other sport there is always toxicity among the fans, unnecessary hate and constant "my sportsman/team" is better and yours sucks. But here its pure respect from both sides. They are both great men and they respect each other,glad to see its the same among the fans. Pure respect all round
Great promotion for SLOVEnia 🇸🇮!! I want to come with my family one day !! Well done !
Slovenia ,my one of top country to live
Semplicemente stupendo 🔝
Love U tadej from italy 🇮🇹🇸🇮
You have two young great athletes. Luka in basketball and tadej in cycling.
Fantastičen video 😍
Superb promotion video. Well done. Makes me come back again in this wonderful country. From france.
Grazie mille per tutto tadej sei sempre il migliore,il coraggio di attaccare fa parte del tuo stile, il fortunato che ti ha preso la maglia aveva uno squadrone,solo x quello è riuscito ma seravate solo in due avresti vinto solo tu ,dai campione, c'3l'anno prossimo,grande!!
I really like Tadej - not only do I think he’s a brilliant cyclist, but I really like his attitude and even when things aren’t going his way he always seems very positive and is always smiling 😁
Training 4 Cycling in either Slovenia or Andorra is just Cycling Heaven . Wish l was 22 yrs old again instead of 65 yrs 😪 😅 This is how u make me feel Tadej. U r having an exceptional yr in 2024 . Geraint Thomas has said u r the Best Cyclist he has ridden with . Huge Respect young fella . Enjoy Ur Journey. Robert 🇦🇺 Australia 🇦🇺
The Pog is a legend and Slovenia is a very beautiful country.
How could u not become an Elite Cyclists in sLOVEnia riding in this Environment. Awesome. I have a mate on Strava who runs ultra marathons over there . The roads are in fabulous condition. Wouldn't it be Gr8 2 go ride over there. Tadej is a very down 2 earth 🌎 young guy . Clean & no Drugs . Just hard work . Wishing him a sensational career 👏 ×2 TdeF b4 he is 22yrs outstanding 😅 Bravo . Robert Australia 🇦🇺

Slovenia is beautiful. I had the chance to go there on a business trip and we stole a day skiing there. Fantastic
This young man is a beast
I am from Denmark and cheer for Vingegaard. But Pogacar, he is such a great sport and his always daring and attacking riding style, have made him very popular in the cycling world. So thrilled about the TdF 2023, together he and Jonas have made this TdF one of the best and most exciting ever. Thx for making cycling so much better Pogi!!
one of THE most amazing climbs in all of europe - mangrt!

The climb up over the Predil pass into Slovenia is beautiful and then the vista opens up over that bridge into the one of the most spectacular views I've ever encountered on the bike. You can then either go along the Soca valley or up the Mangart climb, either of which is incredible, but the Soca valley offers the prospect of the Vrsic climb at the end. It's a shame the Giro doesn't visit these climbs more often as they're the equal of anything Italy has to offer.

Some are even cobbled some gorgeous climbs. Cyclist magazine did Slovenia edition back in 2014 it was only a matter of time before this generation arrived. Spilak and brakoviz we're at time two incredible climbers of note but best was to come with primoz and tadej and matej coming from youth ranks. Awesome magazine If you get a chance the routes they rode were stunning.
Awesome video. I was not a fan before watching this, but now I am. Go Tadej. A humble young man.

He's literally the nicest kindest kid still gives his trophies to his parents, some people are tired of him winning that's always the case in every sport with hierarchy. UAE struck gold with him not other way around they are building team currently but Vuelta he podiumed at 20 after working for aru. They don't come quieter unassuming off bike. On it he's a natural for certain. Agreed gives good context of his true personality you literally see him privately give his mom and dad strade trophy people forget he's just 23 he's been so good so long already. He's still a kid 🤙🍻
Slovenia is the best country, we lived 4 magic years there and we'd like to come back! Pure SLOVEnia!

Slovenia is one of the greatest countries for visiting in sommer. The area around Bled lake is just amazing 😍😍
I love Slovenia! Land of nature wonders, amazing landscapes, friendly people. Paradise exists.
What wonderful rider is pogacar. Same w roglic, wonderful. And pogacar seems like nice person, head on straight. Great Let’s hope pogacar is racing clean, is not on drugs. I hope so, for I admire him.
Beautiful video! I love watching Tadej race and I'm not even a cyclist. Can't wait to follow his career.
A fantastic country with fantastic people. I (UK) have had many happy days there. All the very best Tadej.
Wow. Beautiful video. Very well done. Congrats to the production company.
I spent a week in Slovenia years ago with my friends, and just travelled by car off the beaten track all around the country. It's an absolutely stunning country, that packs so much into such a small area. I hope to go back there some day.
What a ride!!! Cheers from Brazil!!!! Great guy!!!
Beautiful video and let's be honest Primož started the cycling boom in Slovenia back in 2016 and Tadej just lifted it on a whole other level. I remember when i bought my first rode bike in 2014 there was not a lot of people riding in Slovenia and now there is an explosion of cyclist in our country and it's beautiful to see. So thank you Pog & Rog and big thank you to Tadej for bringing new kids in to this beautiful sport.
The most beautyfull Video of the most beautyfull boy on a bike ❤️👑❤️👍❤️🥰
Great guy great Champion 🎩👍 He was just plain awesome in this last #TDF2022 😎
Freedom is not free. Never quit.
Beautiful country.
Mangart Climb , King of slovenien alpes
tadej's still on rim break! salute! pure class!
Beautiful ! The child and the creativity of riding a bicycle is something that we all should do not matter what a age or skill . Great inspiration from a giant Pogacar!
What a beautiful country!?
Imagens impressionantes da Eslovénia Desejo boa sorte para o Tour ao Pogacar Abraço desde Aveiro 🇵🇹
love Slovenia
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring! Cycling with friends is always amazing 👏
Him racing tour of Slovenia as prep for tour last year and winning and same schedule this year is just class and character. No better recognition he could bestow on his home country after Olympics and all. Still racing nationals every year he and matej are not just great friends great representatives of talent country can produce from youth ranks 🤙 kudos roglic as well another classy champion. Hope they can figure things out for a world's course like this year they have two best gc riders of generation should be dominant now they have the numbers to do it... love to see it : ) great vid
We loved cycling there a few years back and cannot wait to do it all again sometime soon!
Mangart, Vrsic, Sella Nevea. 100 km well done.
Amazing atmosphere I feel from these shots. I love Slovenia. Hope, see you soon :-)
What a wonderfull video!!! What a wonderfull boy!!! And the land, where he comes from is marvelous!!! I have to look these pictures again and again! ❤🤟♥️

Idemo Slovenci!

Rim brake for the win ✌️
Beautiful. It would be great to see more info on suggested areas to ride, nearby airports, local infrastructure possibilities for transport with bike (bike only or in bike box) on buses or train. Bus and train connections (and possiblity to travel with bike). Also the ideal time of year to visit for a cycling holiday. Also, other opportunities for people with families, like what else to do.. hiking, walking, trails, mountain biking, spas, thermal springs etc. Thanks, keep it coming 😊🙏👍

You should make Kranjska Gora your base and then just go riding with a bike everyday. Slovenia is small enough for you to ride through on a bike if you wanted to. Majority of younger folk speak english, train/bus connections are regular if slow(but you are on a holiday o why is the rush). I would also suggest visiting maribor and do some biking there( Pohorje has a few 10km+ climbs), all in all a great contry to see all of it in a week maybe. All the best from a Slovenian.
What A Champion 🦑✨🐙
Your an amazing young man. I’m 54 male, and you’ve inspired me to train, and I’m looking forward to finishing my first 100k. Ty for sharing. Good luck and say hello to your Aussie 👋

one of my plans to get fitter again and go to slovenia in summer with my friends and climb the cols there
Beautiful...
Gänsehaut!
Predil and Mangart. Such a good climb, with only a problem, last part is closed. Two years ago there were landslides, and it's hard to fix. Hope that they solve somehow cause it's such a great place to bike.
smashed this video god damn
Super cool
I love you, pogi!!
