Tadej Pogacar currently has a contract until 2027, one of the longest in professional cycling, but UAE Team Emirates is interested in extending it further. Significant financial investment in the Slovenian rider has led the team to consider renewing Pogacar’s contract until 2029.
This information was reported by Ciro Scognamiglio from Gazzetta dello Sport, and the reason for these negotiations is related to the 2028 World Championships, which will be held in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi. It appears that the team is very pleased with their star rider and wants to keep him until the end of the season, or possibly even longer, anticipating a potential world championship title.
