The 71st edition of the Coppa Sabatini is set to take place next Thursday, and the organizing team appears eager to welcome none other than Tadej Pogacar. According to the Italian press, the Slovenian cyclist will once again be competing in the Italian 1.Pro race in just three days.
Last week, the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the UAE Team Emirates rider will be participating in three more races this season, specifically the Giro dell’Emilia (September 30), Tre Valli Varesine (October 3), and the Tour of Lombardy (October 7).
Furthermore, his participation in the Coppa Sabatini on September 14 is now also scheduled. It will mark Pogacar’s debut appearance in the competition.
Pogacar’s Last Appearance was in Glasgow
Tadej Pogacar’s most recent participation in competitions took place a month ago during the World Cup in Glasgow, Scotland. The two-time Tour de France champion competed in the road race and clinched the bronze medal, with the race being won by Mathieu Van der Poel. In the World Championship Time Trial, he did not deliver a standout performance, finishing in 21st place.
