Chasing Tadej Winners Enjoy Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with Pogačar at MyWhoosh HQ in Abu Dhabi
It was a morning to remember in Abu Dhabi as the winners of the Chasing Tadej challenge were treated to an unforgettable visit to the MyWhoosh headquarters, where they met none other than cycling superstar Tadej Pogačar. The event brought together fans, riders, and the cycling community for a celebration of passion, perseverance, and unity — all under the banner of #WeAreUAE.
The winners, who had participated in the exciting Chasing Tadej virtual cycling event, were invited to the UAE capital for an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at MyWhoosh HQ. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly their meeting with Pogačar, the two-time Tour de France champion and the face of UAE Team Emirates. Known for his humility and charm, Tadej spent quality time with the guests, sharing stories from his remarkable career and giving fans a glimpse into the life of a world-class athlete.
The morning began with a warm welcome and a delightful breakfast, where the winners enjoyed an intimate setting with the Slovenian cycling hero. Pogačar, dressed casually and smiling throughout, spoke about his journey from a young dreamer in Slovenia to becoming one of the greatest cyclists of his generation. “It’s always special to connect with the people who make this sport what it is — the fans,” Pogačar said. “They ride with us, cheer for us, and believe in us. Today is about celebrating them.”
After breakfast, the excitement continued as the group participated in a joint ride on the MyWhoosh platform, an innovative virtual cycling environment that has taken the world of e-cycling by storm. Pogačar joined the winners on the platform, riding alongside them in a thrilling virtual session that mixed fun, fitness, and a friendly dose of competition.
The MyWhoosh team ensured that every moment was memorable — from interactive sessions and photo opportunities to exclusive insights into the platform’s technology and future projects. For many of the participants, meeting their idol and sharing a ride with him was a dream come true.
One of the winners expressed, “I never imagined I’d get the chance to ride with Tadej Pogačar — even virtually! It’s something I’ll never forget. He’s not just an incredible cyclist, but a genuinely kind and inspiring person.”
As the event concluded, there was a palpable sense of gratitude and joy in the air. Pogačar thanked the MyWhoosh team for hosting and praised their commitment to making cycling accessible to everyone. “What MyWhoosh is doing for the sport is amazing,” he said. “It brings people together from all over the world, and that’s what cycling is really about.”
The day ended with smiles, photos, and heartfelt goodbyes — but for the winners of Chasing Tadej, it was the beginning of a story they’ll tell for years to come.
A perfect blend of technology, passion, and human connection — this Abu Dhabi encounter proved once again that the spirit of cycling goes far beyond the finish line. ♂️✨
